Arsenal have ‘big talent’ in Ethan Nwaneri – Mikel Arteta

Ethan Nwaneri’s performance delighted Mikel Arteta but did not surprise him as the 17-year-old’s superb strike helped Arsenal to a 3-0 win over Preston and into the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.

The teenager bent in a fine first-half goal after Gabriel Jesus’s first strike since January had set Arsenal on their way, with substitute Kai Havertz adding the third early in the second half.

It was another stand-out Carabao Cup performance from academy product Nwaneri, who got his first senior goals with a brace in Arsenal’s 5-1 win over Bolton in the previous round.

He might have had two at Deepdale too, but a late strike hit the crossbar. “He did it yesterday in training too, so we’re getting used to that,” the Arsenal boss said. “He’s a big talent, he’s got the right attitude, he’s got the right players and context around him and we need to make sure that we put brick by brick in the right tempo, in the right order, but we have some player there.” Two years ago Nwaneri came off the bench against Brentford to become the youngest player in the Premier League at the age of 15 and 181 days.
