Former Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger has praised young midfielder Ethan Nwaneri, comparing him to former club captain Cesc Fàbregas.

Nwaneri, only 17 years old, has made a big impact at Arsenal this season. He has shown great skills and confidence, making him one of the top young talents in European football. His recent performance in Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Leicester City proved his quality.

Wenger spoke about Nwaneri’s abilities in an interview with beIN SPORTS. He described him as a player who creates chances with his dribbling and passing. Wenger also highlighted Nwaneri’s strong mentality, comparing it to Fàbregas, who was known for his determination from a young age.

“When I see his maturity, it’s hard to believe he’s only 17,” Wenger said. “A special talent is always ready early.”

With his rapid rise, Nwaneri looks set to become a key player for Arsenal in the future. Fans and experts are excited to see how far his talent can take him.
