Shock Report: Ethan Nwaneri’s Arsenal Future in Doubt as Six Top Clubs Ready to Pounce

Ethan Nwaneri's long-term future at Arsenal is reportedly in doubt.
 

The 18-year-old starlet has been one of the few positives for Mikel Arteta's side this season, scoring nine goals and providing two assists across all competitions.

Nwaneri is widely tipped to have a bright future, and Arsenal are desperate to keep hold of him for the long term.

Reports in recent months have suggested that Arsenal opened contract talks with the player's representatives, with growing optimism that a deal could be agreed sooner rather than later.

However, a twist has now emerged regarding the Englishman's future.

According to TBR Football's chief correspondent Graeme Bailey, Nwaneri committing his future to Arsenal is no longer a certainty.

It is believed that the player's representatives have concerns over Arsenal's short-term plans for him — a key reason why negotiations are currently stalling.

Bailey also reports that several top clubs across Europe are closely monitoring the situation.

Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig are all reportedly ready to make a move should talks with Arsenal break down.

Nevertheless, the Gunners remain confident of tying the youngster down to a new long-term deal.
