The gem included in Arsenal’s squad to face West Ham for the Premier League leadership

Arsenal’s coach Mikel Arteta surprised the media and the fans in the last few hours with a shocking decision, as the Spanish manager would have decided to include one of the biggest gems of the club’s academy in the squad to face West Ham in the Emirates Stadium on the nineteenth day of the 2023/2024 Premier League season.

The Gunners, who will compete for the leadership of the Premier League in their game against the Hammers, could count on the participation of the English 16-year-old wonderkid Ethan Nwaneri for the game, where Mikel Arteta could give the young man his first minutes in the Premier League this season.

In this sense, it would be worth remembering that Ethan Nwaneri is considered by the football experts and Arsenal’s coaching staff as the last biggest appearance in the club’s academy due to his great scoring ability and his crafty football in the final third, which could offer to the club a similar profile to the one performed by Bukayo Saka nowadays.

The player has scored 10 goals in 9 games this season

Nwaneri, who has already scored nine goals in ten games played this season, has already been included several times in Arsenal’s squad during the season, as the player was involved in the group who traveled to Netherlands to play against PSV in the sixth day of the Champions League group stage, and he could finally have his first minutes with the senior team against West Ham.
