The name Ethan Nwaneri may have been first noticed by the more astute Arsenal fans in the 2022/2023 season, as the English talent made his debut for Arsenal's senior team in the Premier League this season. At the age of 15 years and 181 days, he also became the youngest player ever to play in England's top competition. This fact alone might be enough to give you an idea of the qualities and potential Ethan Nwaneri possesses. However, the young Englishman won't make a proper breakthrough into adult football until the 2024/2025 season. Those quotation marks in the previous sentence are really spot on, as Nwaneri was only 17 years old for most of the aforementioned season. Yet he was able to firmly establish himself in the squad Mikel Arteta's. And not only that. It was a season full of milestones for the talented youngster. It is worth mentioning in particular the premiere hits in the EFL Cup, the Premier League and the Champions League. And what makes Nwaneri so special? A lot. Huge insight into the game, great technique, short ball management, creativity, playful cheekiness... But the biggest asset is the exclusive kicking technique, which we have already seen in action several times.
