Arsenal wonderkid Ethan Nwaneri makes decision on future as rivals circle "big talent"

Ethan Nwaneri will not leave Arsenal this summer - despite interest from Premier League rivals Manchester City and Chelsea.

Nwaneri, 16, hit the headlines in September when he came off the bench during Arsenal's 3-0 win at Brentford to become the Premier League's youngest ever player, aged 15 years and 181 days old. Mikel Arteta described him as a "big talent" at the time.

The teenage midfielder's schoolboy registration is due to expire on June 30, but Mirror Football understands he will commit his future to Arsenal. He will sign scholarship forms before putting pen to paper on a professional deal when he turns 17 in March next year.
