Arsenal Face Obstacles in Ethan Nwaneri Contract Extension

Ethan Nwaneri — Arsenal’s talented 18-year-old player — has yet to reach an agreement on a contract extension with his club.

The England U-21 winger signed his first professional contract with Arsenal in March last year — a deal set to expire in June 2026.

Arsenal management plans to extend Nwaneri’s contract until 2030 before next season begins — however negotiations have stalled due to the player’s demands.

The main obstacle in these new contract talks — the player seeks playing time guarantees from the North London club.
