Arsenal are set to make Ethan Nwaneri the third highest-paid teenager in the Premier League, as they look to tie the starlet down to a long-term contract, according to FootballTransfers.
Nwaneri has impressed in his limited outings in the Gunners’ first team thus far, netting a brace during Mikel Arteta’s side’s 5-1 win over Bolton in the EFL Cup last month. Shining in cameos against Tottenham and Leicester in the Premier League, the Hale End academy graduate is highly thought of within London Colney.
It’s understood that the North Londoners are keen on securing the services of the exciting prospect, and the player’s interest in such a contract is reciprocated, as he’s expected to commit his long-term future to the English giants when he turns 18 next March. Currently earning a purported £20,000-per-week, Arsenal have begun preliminary talks over a deal that would triple his wages to £60,000 every seven days.
