Ethan Nwaneri, a young player for Arsenal, is supposedly about to accept a record-breaking contract after turning down a Manchester City offer. Nwaneri made history in September 2022 when, at the age of 15 years and 181 days, he joined Arsenal as the youngest-ever Premier League player.

In stoppage time of Mikel Arteta's team's 3-0 victory over Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium, Nwaneri took Fabio Vieira's place. It has been said that at the age of sixteen, he is ready to pledge his future to Arsenal. The teenage player, who turns 17 later this month, will sign a professional deal with the Gunners, according to reports from Football Insider.

In a deal that breaks records, Nwaneri is allegedly receiving the biggest salaries paid to a youth player in Arsenal's history. According to the source, City offered a sizable offer to get Nwaneri to leave North London.

This Saturday afternoon, Arsenal will return to Premier League action when they host Brentford.
