Ethan Nwaneri Commits Long-Term to Arsenal


Arsenal have officially confirmed that Ethan Nwaneri has signed a new long-term contract, reportedly spanning five years and tying him to the club until 2030. The standout Academy product, who broke into the first team last season, has firmly committed his future to the Gunners.

The deal comes on the back of a breakthrough 2024/25 campaign, during which Nwaneri made 37 appearances, found the net nine times, and added two assists in all competitions. His versatility playing as both a central midfielder and on the right flank earned him praise and strengthened his case for a regular spot this season.

Reports suggest the new contract comes with a significant pay rise and enhanced assurances regarding his developmental pathway, particularly amid growing squad competition. Arsenal are clearly planning to integrate Nwaneri as a core part of their midfield rotation alongside players like Ødegaard and Madueke.

Nwaneri’s rise and renewed commitment have not gone unnoticed - interest from clubs like Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund has reportedly been sidelined as the 18-year-old opted to stay and grow at Arsenal.

His contract kicks off amid a busy summer window for Arsenal, who have already strengthened their roster with Alvaro Morata, Viktor Gyökeres, Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, and Christian Nørgaard. Nwaneri’s long-term deal ensures the team keeps its promising homegrown core intact.

With the new season looming, all eyes will be on whether Nwaneri’s progression continues. His commitment provides stability in Arsenal’s midfield, and fans will be eager to see how quickly he can make the leap from impact substitute to consistent starter.
