“I’m very excited” Nwaneri finally pens new Arsenal deal

Ethan Nwaneri has officially signed a new deal with Arsenal, putting an end to recent speculation surrounding his future. The young attacker is now fully focused on earning more game time as he aims to make a greater impact in the senior squad this season.

Concerns had been growing among supporters that Nwaneri might choose not to extend his stay at the club. Those fears stemmed from a drop in his playing time last season, particularly after the return of senior players from injury. He had been a regular presence when Bukayo Saka was sidelined, but once the winger returned to full fitness, Nwaneri’s involvement was significantly reduced.

Contract Talks Raised Doubts

The uncertainty was further heightened as Nwaneri’s contract discussions began around the same time as Myles Lewis-Skelly’s. The defender quickly agreed to fresh terms, while Nwaneri’s negotiations remained unresolved, leading to further speculation about his intentions. However, any doubts have now been laid to rest, with the talented forward officially committing his future to the club.

Nwaneri has expressed his joy at signing the new deal and reaffirmed his desire to make a meaningful contribution. He appears focused and determined to prove himself at the highest level, having now been welcomed as a full member of the senior set-up.
