Who is Ethan Nwaneri? Arsenal's 15-year-old record breaker with a "champion mentality"

"School in the morning, he's got school in the morning."

That was the chant coming from the away end during the closing stages of Arsenal ’s 3-0 win over Brentford on Sunday as Ethan Nwaneri was brought on to replace Fabio Vieira. Nwaneri, wearing No.83, came on in the 92nd minute and touched the ball just once in the following three minutes, yet finished the match as a history maker.

Aged 15 years and 181 days old, the Arsenal youngster became the youngest player to ever feature in a Premier League match, beating the record held by Liverpool star Harvey Elliott, who was 16 years and 30 days old when he played in the top flight for Fulham back in 2019.
