Arsenal are set to face a fight to keep Ethan Nwaneri next March - despite signing a new two-year scholarship deal.
Nwaneri, aged 15 at the time, became the youngest-ever Premier League player last September when he came on for the final three minutes of the Gunners' 3-0 win over Brentford. Although the teenager hasn't featured for the first team since, he has been a regular in the club's Under 18s and Under 21s set up.
Last season, the talented midfielder scored seven times and provided five assists in the Under 18s Premier League, while also playing a huge role in Arsenal's run to the FA Youth Cup final. Nwaneri netted twice in five matches during the tournament as Jack Wilshere's side were beaten 5-1 by West Ham at the last hurdle.
