Catch all the latest Arsenal news, including updates on Ethan Nwaneri, Raheem Sterling and Martin Zubimendi.
Arsenal returned to Premier League action over the weekend, landing all three points with an important win over Leicester City.
A brace from Mikel Merino proved to be the difference as the midfielder stepped into a more unorthodox striker role to help score the all-important goals.
After that, Mikel Arteta has a full week to prepare his side for the upcoming test of West Ham United in a London Derby.
So with that said, here’s a look at the biggest Arsenal news ahead of another busy week of action.
Arsene Wenger praises Ethan Nwaneri impact at Arsenal
The Hale End academy has worked wonders yet again as Ethan Nwaneri continues to step up to the biggest stage for Arsenal when it matters.
The 17-year-old was a standout performer for the Gunners in their win over Leicester, providing an assist and going close with a few other chances.
Following the victory, former manager Arsene Wenger was full of praise for Nwaneri in an interview with beIN Sports, when asked about how he compares to Cesc Fabregas at a similar age.
He said: “Nwaneri is more of a creator of a final ball through his dribbling and the quality of his passing.
“Of course [he’s mentally similar to Fabregas], Fabregas was very strong mentally, but this boy looks it as well.
“When I look at him and his maturity, it’s difficult for me to think he’s 17 years old. The sign of a special talent is that they’re ready early.”

There is no buy clause inserted into Sterling’s loan deal from Chelsea, though the Blues would be open to a departure.
