Former Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger has compared Ethan Nwaneri to the club’s former captain Cesc Fàbregas.
Wenger said Nwaneri is a ‘creator and special talent,’ comparing the 17-year-old’s mentality to that of a young Fàbregas.
Nwaneri has burst onto the scene at Arsenal this season.
The 17-year-old has established himself as one of the finest young talents in European football.
He was impressive as Arsenal defeated Leicester City 2-0 at the King Power Stadium at the weekend.
“Nwaneri is more a creator of the final ball through his dribbling and the quality of his passes,” Wenger told beIN SPORTS.
“Fàbregas was very strong mentally, but this boy looks like he is as well.
“When I look at him and his maturity, it’s difficult for me to think that he’s 17 years old.
“The sign of a special talent is that they are ready early.”
