Nwaneri is the latest in a long line of Hale End talents to burst onto the Arsenal scene, a list that also includes Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe and Wilshere, who was previously considered one of England's best prospects during his teenage years.

Arsenal have been warned that they must show signs of improvement if they are to convince Mikel Arteta to remain at the Emirates Stadium. Gunners icon Alan Smith believes the Spaniard will want to see the reward of his hard work - but could depart if he feels the club is ‘standing still’.

Nowadays, Mikel might be seen as uncompromising, rigid. But the irony is in his five years at the club, he has always adapted his ideas to the players, to opposition, to trend, to mostly… win. Tactically, Arteta can do it all.
