Arsenal have one of the most valuable squads in the world.
Mikel Arteta has spent a fair bit of money since he took charge of the club in 2019, and many of his players have increased in value.
That puts Arsenal’s future in a really safe place as they are guaranteed to profit if some of their best players decide to move on.
The highlight for the Gunners with respect to player valuation is the development of some of their academy graduates.
Ethan Nwaneri is one of them.
Arsenal youngster Ethan Nwaneri is worth a fortune
Nwaneri is one of the best youngsters in the Premier League.
The teenager broke the record to become the youngest player to make an appearance in the competition’s history when he was just 15 years old.
Since then, Nwaneri has been developing well at the Emirates and has played 43 more games under Arteta. He has scored nine goals and provided a couple of assists for the first team as well.
In August this year, the 18-year-old penned a new contract, committing his future to the club until the summer of 2030.
That gives Arsenal a lot of security as Nwaneri’s value has shot up.
According to CIES Football Observatory, the Hale End graduate is now worth €85 million (£74m), which is stunning considering that he is still only 18.
Furthermore, Nwaneri is the most valuable player in the world who has yet to make his senior international debut.
We’re convinced that an England call-up will come in the very near future.
Ethan Nwaneri could get more game time at Arsenal
Nwaneri has made five appearances for Arsenal this season, but just one of them came from the start – that was in the Carabao Cup against Port Vale.
The teenager will be hoping for more in the coming weeks, and he could get his wish.
Martin Odegaard has been ruled out until after the November international break after suffering an MCL injury in the game against West Ham.
Eberechi Eze is likely to replace him, but the England international cannot play every game.
That means Nwaneri will get his opportunities – not just in the Premier League but in the Champions League as well.
