Granit Xhaka has praised Arsenal youngster Ethan Nwaneri, calling him a “very special” talent with a “big, big future” after the 15-year-old made history in Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Brentford. Nwaneri, born in March 2007, became the youngest-ever player to feature in a Premier League match, surpassing the previous record held by Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott.

Fast forward to 2025, Ethan Nwaneri has cemented his place as a key player for Arsenal, fulfilling the immense promise he showed as a teenager. Now, the attacking midfielder has grown into a mature and dynamic presence in the squad, regularly stepping up in crucial moments and delivering match-winning performances.

Under Mikel Arteta’s guidance, Nwaneri has developed his technical ability, vision, and composure under pressure, making him a reliable figure in big games. His ability to glide past defenders, pick out key passes, and contribute with goals has made him a fan favorite and a nightmare for opposition defences.
