Ethan Nwaneri has said he feels at home at Arsenal after signing a new long-term deal and is determined to build on his breakthrough season. It is understood Nwaneri, the youngest Premier League debutant after playing for Arsenal aged 15 years and 181 days in 2022, has signed a five-year deal despite interest from Chelsea and clubs in Germany.

The 18-year-old was the youngest member of England’s victorious squad at this summer’s European Under-21 Championship and has made 39 appearances for Arsenal, scoring nine goals. In January he became only the third player, after Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney, to score three Premier League goals before his 18th birthday.
