Liverpool are reportedly keen on Arsenal youngster Ethan Nwaneri along with fellow Premier League rivals Manchester City and Chelsea.
The Gunners have reportedly done ‘everything they can’ to keep the teenager at the club, though there is a growing acceptance that he could be destined for a switch elsewhere if a better offer comes in.
This comes courtesy of football.london’s Tom Canton’s comments on The Gooner Talk’s YouTube channel (via HITC): “We still don’t know if the youngster will be committing his future to Arsenal.”
“Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and a number of other clubs are all interested in the youngster.
“Arsenal have done everything they can to try and keep Ethan Nwaneri at the club by giving him opportunities.
“Arsenal have done everything but if there are better offers from elsewhere there is very little Arsenal can do.
“They can only hope he’ll keep faith in the team that have given him these opportunities and development throughout his younger years.”
The 16-year-old prodigy is now the youngest player in Premier League history after being handed a senior debut during Arsenal’s 3-0 victory over Brentford at the start of the season.
It’s worth noting that the player can’t sign a professional contract with any outfit until he turns 17 – a fact interested parties will be keeping in mind ahead of the next campaign no doubt.
Though we’ll want to be careful about not prioritising senior stars who can be an instant fit at the club, the rise of Stefan Bajcetic in the ranks proves there continues to be value in snapping up highly-rated talent in the middle of the park.
If we can convince the player that his long-term future would be better-served under Jurgen Klopp at Anfield, it could be another superb coup conducted by Liverpool in the transfer market down the line.
What can LFC offer that Arsenal can’t offer? He won’t leave London for Leverpool. Don’t waste your time. Thought you said you would recruit Saka to replace Salah? What happened?
After being developed if he doesn’t want to follow Saka’s example and allow his father to influence him to chase money then that’s up to him.
Klopp is being sacked soon so what is arrogant LFC talking about? Your next title would be during another pandemic
