Ethan Nwaneri closing a huge record in the Arsenal Premier League

Arsenal’s 17-year-old starlet Ethan Nwaneri is two goals away from the equalization of the great record records that have set the English legends Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney.
The aforementioned duo both scored nine goals at all competitions before he turned 18 while playing on the opposite halves of Merseyside, which was no other legal child who could never be reconciled while playing for a Premier league club. Nwaner, however, has that target in its sights.
The reduced forward is so light on his feet to fight to leave traces in the snow, but he must have left his mark during the breakthrough year on the first team. After becoming the youngest player in the history of the Premier League when he made his debut against Brentford In 2022 and came as a 15-year-old for singing “He has a school in the morning”, Nwaneri had to wait until September 2024 before scoring his first senior goals.
Bolton Wandirers shipped two karabao strikes before the 17-year-old Preston North End have been treated too to the first hand of the demonstration of Nwnerri’s ability to bend the ball with his left foot. It is already abundantly visible what the teenager will do – one has yet to make a shot with its weaker right side – but stopping it has shown it far more difficult. Can you have a signature move before you are allowed to vote?

There are seven more matches left to score two goals he needed to match Owen’s features in Liverpool and Rooney during his days in Everton before he turned 18 on March 21. However, Mikel Arteta It is painful to avoid overloading a wing player who is five months younger than the Emirates stadium.
“I am responsible for building a career for him,” Arteta warned after Nwaneri scored his first Premier League goal. “You have to make that brick brick. Today he put another brick. Now we have to put a cement, make sure it doesn’t dry so we can put another one and it will stick. Then we put another layer, another layer.
“If you want to put five bricks in a row, believe me, it will not succeed. We have to manage not only his expectations, but also his load, which is really important.”
