'It is rare to see this talent in a 17-year-old' - Arteta on Nwaneri

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says that he must manage Ethan Nwaneri's development as the 17-year-old begins to make a name for himself at the club.

"At 17 years old to be in the position he is, in one of the biggest clubs in Europe sums up his level," said Arteta.

"At the moment he wants it a lot and he is surrounded by the right people.

"It is rare to see talent like this at 17 years old. When he made his debut in the Premier League, he was good. We know the pathway we want with him and we want to send him a message of how much we trust him and believe in him."

Arteta also believes that the journey of Bukayo Saka provides motivation for younger players at the club, to follow his example.

"I think it creates belief in the journey," he added. "Our players see there is a pathway that they have opportunities and if they earn it, they will be treated like the rest.

"I was lucky because someone trusted me at that age, and that is what you need as well. You have to be surrounded by the right team and players, and then you can be successful."
