- Ethan Nwaneri, 17, is enjoying an innovative season in the first Arsenal team
- The young man has promoted with Arteta in the absence of Bukayo Saka
- Listen now: Everything is starting! We need Arsenal's personality! This needle is what the Premier League is about
Ethan Nwaneri cannot be prepared for matches in the senior costumes of Arsenal due to the protection rules, Mikel Arteta has revealed.
The 17 -year -old is in the midst of an impressive progress campaign, being located in the gunners who start XI easily and provide a viable solution to their problems on the right flank.
So far this season, Nwaneri has made his first openings of the Premier League and Champions League, shone in the Carabao Cup, while scoring the three competitions.
The Myles Lewis-Skelly academy partner, who scored his first goal from the Gunners in the emphatic 5-1 victory over Manchester City, has also broken into the scene this season. And Arteta believes that her friendship has helped the transition from Nwaneri, since she still cannot prepare for games with her teammates.
The protection rules mean that players must be 18 years or older to share a costume with the senior team. It means that the star should change in another place before joining her colleagues for the final conversation of the team.
“When you see those two (Lewis-Skelly and Nwaneri) walking next to each other, speaking with each other, there is a link there and a chemistry there,” said Arteta.

The 17-year-old enjoy a close friend
Mikel Arteta revealed that Nwaneri cannot be prepared for the games in the same costumes as his teammates
'I imagine for them that it is special because at this time they are still in different changing rooms (in the training field).
'Ethan cannot be in our wardrobe, which is incredible. You need to dress elsewhere, even the day of the game.
“So, having someone close to him who has that confidence, that confidence, that link, I think it's a luck. They are very lucky to have each other.
Nwaneri's rise could not have been better timed to the arsenal who lost his Talismán Bukayo Saka and fighting to keep his dreams of a Premier League title alive.
The young man won the party of the match last week against Girona, limiting his first European beginning with an impressive final from outside the area.
Teammate Mikel Merino later said: 'This type of objective does not happen by chance. This type of action is something that trains. He is always trying to do this shot, trying to cross second place from the right side. It is something that trains every day.
“Obviously it has incredible talent, but there is nothing that comes without hard work.”
Nwaneri showed that it was not a coincidence when he scored the fifth goal afternoon against City in the Emirates.
The teenager will hope to continue having an impact when the Gunners face Newcastle in the second stage of the Cábao Cup semifinal. Arsenal goes to the game with a two -goal deficit from the first game, but meets a Urracpies team that has lost its last two games at home.
