The player in question is 16-year-old Ethan Nwaneri.
Most fans will likely remember Ethan Nwaneri from his debut vs Brentford this past season.
The teenager came on from a few minutes as Arsenal ran out 3-0 winners over the Bees.
After making his debut vs Brentford, it was revealed that at age 15 years and 181 days, Ethan Nwaneri (born 2007) is the first player under the age of 16 ever to play in the Premier League. He surpassed Harvey Elliott (16y 30d) as the competition’s youngest-ever player.
Now, the Evening Standard claim Chelsea and Manchester City are fighting to sign Arsenal youngster Ethan Nwaneri.
Arsenal have until Friday — when his schoolboy registration runs out — to agree scholarship terms with Nwaneri, but they face competition from Chelsea and Man City, the two Premier League clubs renowned as the highest payers when it comes to academy players.
