Everton is looking at signing Arsenal teenager

Everton want to sign Ethan Nwaneri from Arsenal this summer following his loan spell at Olympique Marseille during the second half of last season.

Nwaneri has been one of the best players promoted from the Arsenal academy in recent years, and his time in France provided him with valuable first-team experience. The attacker is regarded as a talented player who could make the Gunners an even stronger side if he reaches his full potential.

Everton join race for Nwaneri

Despite his potential, Nwaneri could struggle for regular game time at Arsenal again this season because of the competition for places. The Gunners are aware of the situation and have been linked with allowing him to leave on loan once more so that he can continue his development.

According to Football Insider, Everton are now considering a move to make the youngster part of their squad this summer. The Merseyside club believe he could strengthen their attacking options and provide quality for the future.

Everton are not the only club monitoring the Arsenal youngster. Fulham, RB Leipzig and AC Milan are also reported to be interested in signing him on a permanent transfer during this transfer window, increasing the competition for his signature.

Arsenal weigh up Nwaneri’s future

Nwaneri remains one of the key teenagers in the Arsenal squad, but the club could be open to allowing him to leave if they receive an offer that meets their valuation. His future is expected to be decided before the transfer window closes.

Any fee received from his departure would be viewed as pure profit because the player was developed through Arsenal’s academy system. Such a sale would also help the club balance their accounts while creating additional financial flexibility.

Arsenal must now decide whether Nwaneri should continue his development away from the Emirates or remain with the first team. With several clubs interested in securing his services, the youngster is likely to have several options if the Gunners decide to sanction his departure.
