Arsenal’s highly-rated young talent Ethan Nwaneri remains undecided on his international future as he remains eligible to represent both England and Nigeria.
Reports suggest that the 17-year-old midfielder is open to playing for whichever nation formally approaches him first.
Born in England to Nigerian parents, Nwaneri has yet to make a final decision, with both football federations closely monitoring his situation.
A source close to the player’s family has indicated that Nwaneri is in no rush to commit and is waiting for an official call-up from either England or Nigeria.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is particularly keen on securing the Arsenal starlet, hoping to add him to the Super Eagles squad.
Breakthrough Season at Arsenal
Nwaneri has been one of the standout young players under Mikel Arteta this season, registering eight goals in 27 appearances across all competitions, including two in the Champions League.
His performances have drawn significant attention, further fueling the debate over his international allegiance.
Though he has featured for England’s youth teams at various levels, he has yet to earn a senior call-up. Meanwhile, Nigeria remains hopeful that they can persuade him to follow in the footsteps of English-born Super Eagles players like Alex Iwobi and Ademola Lookman.
With no immediate decision expected, Nwaneri’s future at the international level remains a topic of great interest, as both nations look to secure the services of one of Arsenal’s brightest prospects.
