Nwaneri has 100% accuracy in dribbling, crossing, long balls and winning duels. He had 16 touches out of which 2 were in opposition box. Lastly he had one pass in final third and made 1 recovery too.
It is clear that Nwaneri had one of the best performance of his career last night. He has shown why Arteta trusts him so much and why he has included the 17 year old in first team. Now, one club legend has also showered the praise on Nwaneri.
Arsenal legend praised Ethan Nwaneri
The legend in discussion here is Paul Merson who played 12 years for Arsenal. Merson was an attacking midfielder too and hence the praise from him will surely inject a lot of confidence in Nwaneri’s veins.
“And then Nwaneri, 17 years old, what a talent that kid is, he gets a good goal” – Merson speaking to Sky Sports.
Nwaneri is now a regular squad member of Arsenal’s first team. He will surely get a lot more chances and the player will hope to make the most of those chances. He will like to follow the footsteps of Bukayo Saka and become a regular starter very soon.
