Arsenal star reveals role he has played in helping nurture talent of wonderkid Ethan Nwaneri

Back in August, Ethan Nwaneri became the youngest player to feature in the Premier League at just 15 years and 181 days when he came on in the closing minutes as Arsenal beat Brentford 3-0.

His achievement is impressive and shows the good work that is being done within Arsenal's academy as a number of first team stars have now graduated in recent years. Players such as Bukayo Saka have enjoyed a meteoric rise since joining the first team ranks in recent years and set an example for youngsters like Nwaneri to follow.

Within the Gunners dressing room there are also players like Reiss Nelson and Eddie Nketiah who can set an example for products of the famed Hale End academy to follow. Despite a lack of first team opportunities for the Premier League leaders, both can point to an impressive career at a young age, with Nelson having finished as a runner up in last year's UEFA Europa Conference League while on loan at Feyenoord.
