Arsenal star Ethan Nwaneri has been nothing short of excellent in his breakthrough season, which has been displayed in his transfer value.
Ethan Nwaneri’s transfer value rose by £40 million over the past season, having moved from the Hale End academy to the senior side.
Featuring on the right flank in the absence of Bukayo Saka, the 18-year-old showed he was ready to make the step up.
That progression has seen the Arsenal star gain a promotion within the England setup, receiving a call-up for the under-21s.
Following that, Ethan Nwaneri’s place in the European Championships has been underlined by his recent rise in value.
Ethan Nwaneri the most valuable player left in the under-21s Euros
Arsenal youngster Ethan Nwaneri has helped England under-21s progress their way through to the semi-finals of the Euros.
A difficult group stage saw one win, one draw and one defeat for the Three Lions, who were far from their fluid best.
Nwaneri has been in and out of the team, playing different positions across the frontline in recent matches.
He played a role late in the game against Spain in the quarter-final, where England ran out as winners and booked a place in the semi-final.
As it stands, according to Transfermarkt, Nwaneri is the most valuable player remaining in the competition.
He is claimed to be worth €55 million (£47.1 million) in the current market, despite having just one year left on his contract at the Emirates Stadium.
It shows why Arsenal are ramping up contract talks with Nwaneri, aiming to get him tied down to a long-term deal.

Ethan Nwaneri ranks above Arsenal transfer targets at the under-21s Euros
While many have been keeping an eye on Nwaneri and his progress at the European Championships, he isn’t the only one of interest at Arsenal.
Arsenal Insider understands that both Jorrel Hato and Castello Lukeba are of interest to the Gunners, who have scouts in attendance at the under-21s Euros.
The report from Transfermarkt ranks Hato as being worth €35 million (£30 million), while Lukeba is worth €40 million (£34.2 million).
There’s also Cristhian Mosquera, who has been linked with Arsenal, who is listed as being worth €30 million (£25.7 million).
All of them are of interest to Arsenal, but none of them come close to Nwaneri and his current value, showing how important it is to seal a deal for him.
