Manchester City Have exciting young talents in your composition. Of course, the best of the crowd include like Erling Haalanda and Phil Foden, if you still consider them young talents. They were, of course, influential on the city’s high side, but they were both only 24 years old.
The characters of Rico Lewis, Oscar Bobb and the new signing of Vitor Reis are also some of the younger stars at the Etihad Stadium. The first two players are both a graduate Academy, while Reis was a recent acquisition in January from Palmeiras.
Really, Pep Guardiola He has already provided a lot of these young people and will look for the next star he can bring. There is no doubt that a player like Arsenal Ethan Nwaner would be a welcome supplement.
Nwaner’s Arsenal Career
It was a quick increase on the top for Nwaner, just as it was for several City Academy graduates like Foden and Lewis. He has now played 25 times for his boyish club, debut in 2022/23 and became The youngest player in the history of the Premier League In the process, 15 years and 181 days old.
This season was the breakthrough of a 17-year-old campaign. He has Played 23 times For Arsenal, he scored an impressive seven goals in all competitions, including his strike at 5-1 against citizens.
It is exciting to see Nwaner at these levels of appearing on the side of the main honors. In the past, there was a criticism of Mikel Arteli for not trusting the stars of the Academy, But he said Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly “play because they deserve it.”
This is certainly something that Guardiola could watch to follow this season and in the future. He gave young people the opportunity in the past, but it was fewer cases of this season. However, they could already have their nwaner in the form of Claudio Echeverri.

Recently, for Argentina under the age of 20, the 19-year-old grabbed an assist and scored two goals in a 4-3 victory for his side over Uruguay. Basically, he made his own victory oneness, showing how much influence he could have on the game.
Guardiola will surely hope that Echeverri can have the same impact on his side as Nwaneri did on Arsenal. The Hale End star is fantastic from the bench, and more recently from the start for Gunners.
They also operate in similar areas, either as a wide number 10 or outside. The only difference is the fact that Nwaneri plays on the right, while Echeverri works on the left.
Once he is used to the environment and the system, there is no reason to think why Echeverri cannot have the same impact on the city side. There is certainly all the tools to become one of the most exciting young people in the Premier League.
