Arsenal talent Ethan Nwaneri made history in the Premier League when he was brought on as a late substitute by Mikel Arteta in the 3-0 win against Brentford.
Nwaneri became the youngest ever player to make an appearance in the English top-flight, taking the record off of current under-18s head coach Jack Wilshere. The 15-year-old has recently stepped up into Wilshere's team after showing impressive development in the infamous Hale End Academy system.
Nwaneri's involvement off the bench means that 82 of Arsenal's last 200 first-team debutants have been products of the Gunners' Academy. Arteta has shown, with the transfer strategy implemented by technical director Edu, that he wants to give youth a chance to flourish in his team and this is highlighted by the north London outfit having the youngest side in the Premier League with an average age of 23.6 years old, as per Transfermarkt.
