An Arsenal star is said to be closer to signing a new contract with the club after conversations about a deal.
It was speculated that the player in question would leave the club this summer due to potential uncertainty about his playing time.
Mikel Arteta, however, seems to have taken positive steps to convince one of his most important team members to stay at the Emirates Stadium.
An update is now about the future of the player placed by Fabrizio Romano, which indicates that he will stay in North Londs.
The person had a breakout campaign for the Gunners last season and scored nine goals in 37 performances in all competitions.
Due to injuries in the forward line of Arsenal for a large part of the 2024-25 campaign, he was able to appear more and more regularly in the plans of Arteta.
Ethan Nwaneri enjoyed a nice first full campaign in Arsenal colors, because he was tipped for big things since Arteta once made the youngest Premier League debutant at the age of just 15 years and 181 days in September 2022.
Now Nwaneri, 18, is closer to the match of new conditions with his boy's club, according to a new position of Romano on Saturday afternoon.
He wrote: 'Understand that Arsenal has made progress in recent days for the new deal of Ethan Nwaneri.
'The club has presented Vision/Project for Nwaneri in the coming years, including discussions about playing time.
'Arsenal hopeful to get the green light and sign new contract soon'.
Although new conditions still have to be officially agreed, the news will be another positive for Arteta and sports director Andrea Berta.
They have already seen a fellow younger Myles Lewis-Skelly a new contract that will hold him in the club until 2030.
His colleague defender Gabriel has also put pen on paper about a new deal that will see him in N5 until 2029.
Elsewhere, Arsenal has been busy strengthening their ranks for the coming season.
Allegedly they come closer to the signing of Noni Madueke from London Rivals Chelsea – after they have already brought Kepa Arrizabalaga from the blues as an understudy for no 1 goalkeeper David Raya.
Arteta can also land a striker like Viktor Gyokeres will refuse to appear before training for the season with Sporting Lisbon while he insists on a move to Arsenal.
It is thought that the Swedish International agreed on the conditions for the Gunners after priority to relocating to North London above Manchester United.
The striker is of the opinion that he has an honorary agreement that enables him to leave the club for a reimbursement of € 60 million, plus another € 10 million (£ 51.7 million plus £ 8.6 million).
Despite the fact that Arsenal reportedly offers € 65 million, plus another € 15 million (£ 56 million plus £ 12.9 million), but the Portuguese club is now supposed to be strong at a fixed € 70 million (£ 60.4 million).
Gyokeres would report on Friday for training for the season with Sporting, but according to the Athletic he will not appear.
It is said that he feels betrayed, convincing that President Frederico Varandas broke a pact to make him leave for a figure where Arsenal has already been surpassed.
