Hope in youth: Arsenal could move Nwaneri to a striker role

Arsenal is facing serious attacking issues this season. Injuries to Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, and Gabriel Martinelli have now been compounded by the loss of Kai Havertz.

The German is expected to miss the remainder of the season, leaving Mikel Arteta with Ethan Nwaneri, Raheem Sterling, and Leandro Trossard as his attacking options.

Details. According to The Sun, Arsenal are considering moving 17-year-old Nwaneri to a central striker role. The young winger is expected to play as a center-forward until the end of the season.

This season, Ethan has scored seven goals in 23 matches for Arsenal’s first team across all competitions.

Reminder. Dailysports has included Nwaneri among the young players to watch closely in 2025.
