Good morning Arsenal fans
Arsenal youngster Ethan Nwaneri – who wasn’t even born when the Emirates Stadium opened – has become the youngest player in Premier League history after coming off the bench in the closing moments of this game.
The 15-year-old was promoted to first-team training this week after making his U21 debut in early September.
And the attacking midfielder has already earned a spot in Mikel Arteta’s roster, with players like Martin Odegaard and Emile Smith-Rowe unavailable due to injury.
Born in March 2007, Nwaneri breaks the previous record set by Harvey Elliott, who was 16 years and 30 days old when he joined Fulham.
Nwaneri is only 15 years and 180 days.
Mikel Arteta thinks Aaron Ramsdale should be England’s No. 1 ahead of Jordan Pickford.
The Arsenal keeper kept a clean sheet in the 3-0 win over Brentford on Sunday afternoon.
After the game, Arteta said: “I think Aaron has a lot of confidence anyway! It would be a good reward for him for what he has done.
“I hope he is” [picked for the World Cup].
“I think it would be great for us and Aaron. He has shown in the past year what he is capable of. We will follow that decision and wait.”
Gabriel Magalhaes has added salt to Ivan Toney’s wound after brutally trolling him after Arsenal’s emphatic win over Brentford.
Toney was speechless by his very first call in England – and he still hadn’t found his voice.
Brentford barely heard a peep from their striker as he was outmatched by Arsenal superstars William Saliba, Gabriel Jesus and Fabio Vieira.
And Gabriel rubbed defeat even more when he tweeted after the game: “Nice kick with the boys.”
Smug Arsenal fans joined in too, chanting ‘Ivan Toney, a walk in the park’.
The chant was a nod to the ex-Peterborough man’s cheeky tweet after Brentford inflicted a humble 2-0 defeat on Arsenal on the opening day of the 2021/22 season.
