Ethan Nwaneri set a new Arsenal club record when he fired home the opener against Brighton on Saturday night.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 17-year-old is already being labelled as the Gunners new ‘Starboy’ after breaking into Mikel Arteta’s side this season.<\/p>\n

That title currently belongs to fellow academy graduate Bukayo Saka. However, the winger will surely be happy to share the mantle with the impressive Nwaneri.<\/p>\n

The Enfield-born rising starlet had only made two Premier League<\/a> appearances before this season. Due to his meteoric rise, Nwaneri has now featured in 12 top-flight games in 2024\/25.<\/p>\n

That figure will increase rapidly. Not only due to his brilliant form, but Saka faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines<\/a> with a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n

Supporters would have been very worried about the news of Saka’s diagnosis. Nonetheless, Nwaneri has already proved he can perfectly fill the void on the right-hand side.<\/p>\n

Predominantly an attacking midfielder, Nwaneri can play in a variety of positions but is perhaps most comfortable in the no 10 role.<\/p>\n
