Arsenal’s teenage duo, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly, have drown attention throughout the club’s pre-season campaign. Both players featured in the 4-1 victory against Bayer Leverkusen, showcasing their potential.

Ethan Nwaneri made headlines when he debuted for Arsenal against Brentford on September 18, 2022, at just 15 years and 181 days old becoming the youngest-ever player to feature in English football’s top-flight.

Ethan Nwaneri has excelled for England at the U-17 level, demonstrating his talent and potential. Meanwhile, Myles Lewis-Skelly showed off his composure and skill in possession against Bayer Leverkusen. Both players have impressed Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, and are pushing for spots in the senior team.

When asked about the duo at full-time, Arteta stated Arsenal will not put any restrictions on what the two can acheive.

“If they continue like they are doing right now. There is no difference whether they come from the academy or we sign them from Germany or Argentina or Italy,” he said at his post-match press conference.

“If they are showing the quality that they have, the personality they have to play at this level… let’s see. Why would we put any restrictions? If they deserve minutes, they get minutes.”
