England youth international
Nwaneri has been at Arsenal since he was nine and he’s developed into one of the most promising teenagers currently on the Gunners’ books.
The 15-year-old, who is an attacking midfielder and has been described by Tardios as the “new Wayner Rooney”, has represented England Under-16s and 17s in the past year.
He’s used to playing a year or two up and after he made Premier League history on Sunday, Nwaneri got on a flight to Poland to compete in a tournament with the England Under-17s. The Arsenal starlet has scored a goal each for the 16s and 17s.
He only just made his debut for Arsenal’s Under-21s

Nwaneri’s rise to Premier League record-breaker was swift. It wasn’t too long ago when the attacking midfielder was training with 14-year-olds twice a week.
At the end of the 2020/21 campaign, Nwaneri made his debut for Arsenal’s Under-18s against Reading just a month after he turned 14 and he scored a goal that was well worthy of some Ian Bishop “REMEMBER THE NAME” commentary. Nwaneri received possession in an inside right position, cut onto his left foot and curled a wonderful effort into the top corner.
He notched four goal contributions in five appearances for the Under-18s last season, and his impressive form was rewarded with a step-up to the Under-21s at the start of 2022/23. Nwaneri made his debut against Blackburn earlier this month, playing an hour in a 4-1 victory.
