Arsenal working on an Ethan Nwaneri exit over the next fortnight

Wait 5 sec.

Arsenal have informed academy graduate Ethan Nwaneri that he will be allowed to leave north London over the final fortnight of the summer transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.With the window set to officially slam shut on September 1st, the Italian transfer guru reported on Sunday that the 19-year-old will be on his way out of the Emirates.While the Gunners might have cruised their way to Community Shield success on Sunday afternoon as they clinched an empathic 3-0 victory against Manchester City, Nwaneri was not included in Mikel Arteta’s squad at the Principality Stadium.Spending the second-half of last season on loan with French outfit Marseille and making nine Ligue 1 appearances during his brief stint at the Stade Velodrome, Nwaneri now looks set for another speedy exit from north London.Making 26 Premier League appearances for the reigning top-flight champions during the 2024/25 campaign, the Hale End academy graduate put pen to paper on a new five-year deal that will run until the summer of 2030.Shortlisted for the PFA Young Player of the Year award during that campaign, Romano also reported last summer that Chelsea had registered their interest over a potential blockbuster swoop.However, while Nwaneri might still be regarded as one of Europe’s hottest young starlets, the 19-year-old has seen his dramatic rise to superstardom somewhat stall over the past 12 months.Watching big-money summer recruit Christos Tzolis put in a sensational performance during Arsenal’s 3-0 Community Shield victory against Man City on Sunday, it is hard to see where the England U21 ace fits in under Arteta this season.With Arteta very much opening the door to Nwaneri’s potential exit during his pre-match press conference last week, Matte Moretto suggested on Sunday that Italian giants AC Milan are keen on striking a potential deal.
