Joe Cole has tipped Arsenal star Ethan Nwaneri to become a regular England player ‘for the next 10 years’ following his impressive performance in the record-breaking Champions League win over PSV.
Former Chelsea and England midfielder Joe Cole has heaped praise on Arsenal’s young sensation, Ethan Nwaneri, calling him the “most exciting footballer in Europe.” Cole’s comments came after Nwaneri’s standout performance in Arsenal’s record-breaking 7-1 victory over PSV in the Champions League.
Nwaneri, who is just 17 years old, has been making waves in the football world with his exceptional talent and maturity on the field. He first caught the public’s eye when he became the youngest ever Premier League player at the age of 15, making his debut for Arsenal in 2022. Since then, he has continued to impress, and his recent performances have solidified his reputation as one of the brightest young talents in the game.
In the match against PSV, Nwaneri played a crucial role, scoring one of the goals and contributing significantly to Arsenal’s dominant display. His performance did not go unnoticed, with Cole singling him out for special praise. “For me, he is so good that he doesn’t need the U21s,” Cole told TNT Sports. “In my opinion, he is that good. He needs to go straight in with Thomas Tuchel, get around the squad and get some minutes, because he is an England player for the next 10-15 years. I think he is going to be an absolute genius. I think he is the most exciting footballer in England and maybe Europe. What he is doing is incredible”.
Cole’s endorsement of Nwaneri is a testament to the young player’s potential and the impact he is already having at such a young age. With his combination of skill, vision, and composure, Nwaneri is poised to become a key player for both Arsenal and the England national team in the coming years.
