AC Milan have become the latest club to register an interest in Arsenal youngster Ethan Nwaneri as competition for the highly rated midfielder continues to grow. The 19-year-old has returned to Arsenal for pre-season after a loan spell at Marseille, where regular first-team opportunities proved difficult to come by despite flashes of his considerable talent. The club rewarded Nwaneri with a new long-term contract last year, tying him to the Emirates until 2030, underlining their confidence in his long-term potential. Nwaneri has never hidden his ambition to establish himself at Arsenal. For now, Arsenal appear relaxed over the situation given Nwaneri’s long-term contract and their belief that he can still become an important player at the Emirates.
