3 reasons why a new Ethan Nwaneri contract is crucial business for Arsenal

3. Boost for player's morale

A new long-term deal for Nwaneri is not only crucial on the club's behalf but also for the player himself. To be offered such a contract by a club of Arsenal's stature will act as a huge boost of morale for the midfielder.

Nwaneri will be made to feel truly wanted and admired at Arsenal, making it clear to him his future at his boyhood club is secure. As previously mentioned, Arteta will be visibly showing Nwaneri of his admiration and belief in him.

Reports have claimed his wages would see him earn more than Jakub Kiwior and Neto so to be earning more than two first-team players at 17 years of age is enough of an honour. In an age where players make their personalities so clear and visible via social media, it is also crucial for Arsenal to keep Nwaneri happy but they also mustn't allow him to become complacent. This would be unlikely however as Arteta has shown in the past he will not stand for 'cocky' players.

The deal would also erase fears of Nwaneri actively looking for a new club in search of better wages or a more secure future. An offer of a new contract is crucial in the case of keeping him happy and feeling wanted at the club.
