Sam Dean, a reporter for the Daily Telegraph, says that Arsenal could lose young football player Ethan Nwaneri to a rival team in the Premier League.
The story says that both Chelsea and Manchester City want to sign the 15-year-old athlete. He will turn 16 later this month and will be able to sign a loan deal with another team when he turns 16.
When he came in as a sub against Brentford in September, Nwaneri became the youngest player to ever play in the Premier League. In the end, his team won the game 3-0.
The young player hasn’t been called up to play for the first team yet, but his captain, Jack Wilshere, had nothing but good things to say about him after the Under 18s team’s game against Manchester United in December:
In the second half of the game, he did a great job. He was sometimes hard to work with. He had some success now and then. In the second half, many of our players did better, and we were able to make the gap even bigger.

Nwaneri is currently enrolled at Hale End College, so we’ll have to wait and see if he decides to drop out. The Gunners gave him his first game earlier this season to show him that there is a way to play for the first team. However, the fact that he hasn’t signed a contract yet suggests that his future may be elsewhere.
