Arsenal fans are only just realising they already have 'another' Ethan Nwaneri at the club

Arsenal fans are only just realising they already have 'another' Ethan Nwaneri at the club

Nwaneri scored his first Premier League goal last weekend.

Arsenal fans have just discovered that they may have another talented academy player just like Ethan Nwaneri already at the club.

On Saturday, Arsenal fans were impressed as 17-year-old Nwaneri became the clubs youngest Premier League goalscorer since Cesc Fabregas in 2004.

The talented youngster scored the club's third goal in their 3-0 win over a high-flying Nottingham Forest side, having been set up by Raheem Sterling.

And now, Arsenal supporters have just realised that they have another player just like Nwaneri at the club, and it's got them excited.

On Monday, the Academy Watch reported Arsenal academy player Emerson Nwaneri, the younger brother of Ethan, was called up the England under-15 training camp, alongside teammate Charlie Phillips.

Reacting to the news, one Arsenal fan wrote: "Ethan Nwaneri has a younger brother called Emerson Nwaneri who has just been called up into the England U15 Squad!

"Both play for Arsenal!

"Wow just Wow!

Another added: "Ethan is already cooking, but Arsenal U15 has already got Emerson Nwaneri coming through."

While one wrote: "Another Prospect like his incredible older brother. Must run in the family."

Although the young midfielder is likely years away from making any senior appearances for Arsenal, he will no doubt aim to follow in the footsteps of his older brother after he established himself as a fan-favourite last weekend.

Speaking about Nwaneri's performance last Saturday, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta told the BBC's Match of the Day: "He is the second youngest [Premier League goalscorer] in our history. That is a story in itself.

"He is brave. You see the reaction of fans, and they were singing 'he is one of our own'.

"I think we have to put brick-by-brick and make sure the cement does not get dry. Hopefully, we can build a beautiful thing with him."

In total, the midfielder has made nine appearances across all competitions this season, having made his senior debut for Arsenal last season.

His goal against Forest was his fourth for the London club this season, having scored one against Preston North End and two against Bolton Wanderers during the Carabao Cup campaign.
