Mikel Areta says that Ethan Nwaneris “Let me go, let me go” approach was the key to his rapid development at Arsenal.
The talented 17-year-old was Arsenal’s best player in the vital 2-0 win against Leicester City in the King Power Stadium on Saturday and got the lead for Mikel Merinos Deadlock Breaking goal.
The Spaniard, who played as a provisional striker, after taking a second place in the second half to put Arsenal on the Premier League leader Liverpool, who maintains Wolves in Anfield on Sunday.
Merino has more than stacked his game to offer Arteta the cover he needs in the center striker, but it was the brilliance of Nwaneri who broke out on the stage this season, which was again a big topic after the last pipe .
Areta spoke of the importance of careful promotion of young players to support their development, the talent that Nwaneri has is too aware. In fact, the Spaniard referred to the team in the team, and not only because of the club’s injury crisis, and unveiled the attitude of his player, who help to promote success.
“What he basically shows is he,” said Arteta reporters.
“Obviously, his age is something that is a question of how we have to deal with him, but every time he gave us, he is always ‘let me go, let me go, let me go.’ If a player gives you all of these signs, you should not stop it, and you have to believe in this freedom, this creativity, the trust with which he plays for minute and play the players around him. He is a massive threat, a massive talent and he deserves to play.
“I think the second half with two great actions.
Nwaneri may be more suitable for playing on the field and takes over an advanced central central field, but his outstanding representation shows in the absence of the injured Bukayo Saka how versatile he is between now and the end of the season.
Playing on the right may be the role of Nwaneri in the next few months, since Saka is still recovering from the thigh injury, although he may be able to turn with Leandro Trossard and the fighting Raheem Sterling in an increasingly worn arsenal front of three.
