According to the Athletic, record breaking midfielder Ethan Nwaneri has agreed to a professional deal with Arsenal for when he turns 17 in March 2024.

His schoolboy registration was due to expire on June 30.

At 15 Nwaneri became the youngest player in Premier League history when he came on as a substitute against Brentford in September.

Nwaneri snubbed interest from Chelsea and Manchester City to stay at Arsenal.
