Arsene Wenger praised Arsenal Wonderkid Ethan Nwaneri as a “special talent” in the middle of comparisons with Cesc Fabregas.
Nwaneri takes advantage of a revolutionary season in the first Arsenal team and marked its last appearance with a decisive pass in 2-0 victory against Leicester City this weekend.
After being refused by the woodwork twice in the second half, the teenager became a supplier with a perfectly weighted cross for Mikel Merino to break the dead end.
Addressing TNT Sports after the match, expert Joe Cole reluctantly spoke of the similarities between Nwaneri and Lionel Messi.
However, Wenger, who knows something or two at the opportunity to give players to players at a young age, thinks that the 17 -year -old can be a key player for Arsenal as Cesc Fabregas was 20 years ago .
“Nwaneri is more a creator through his last ball, his dribbling and the quality of his death,” said Wenger on BeIN Sports in reference to Fabregas.
“Yeah, of course, Fabregas was very mentally very strong but this boy also looks and when I look at him, his maturity, it is difficult for me to think that he is 17 years old.”
After being interrupted by the host Richard Keys who reminded the former director of Arsenal that it was the case with Fabregas, Wenger replied by saying: “Of course, but the sign of a special talent is that ‘They are ready early. “
It remains to be seen if Nwaneri can imitate Fabregas in Arsenal in the future, but he certainly has a big role to play by the end of the season.
The Gunners are currently suffering from a mini-blue crisis with Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus for the rest of the campaign, while Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli should not return at least a month.
Nwaneri has scored seven goals in 24 appearances in all competitions so far for Arsenal.
