Arsenal to enter contract talks with two teenage sensations

The 18-year-old has become a key figure for the Gunners, and with his current contract expiring at the close of the next season, the Londoners are keen to reward his progress with an enhanced offer.

The arrival of Andrea Berta as sporting director has shifted Arsenal's focus towards extending the contracts of their emerging talents, with the right winger's renewal high on their list of priorities.

Although a formal contract proposal has not yet been presented, sources indicate that the club has already reached out to his inner circle, setting the stage for detailed negotiations to commence shortly.

While financial terms will undoubtedly play a significant role, the discussions will also emphasise his ongoing development under manager Mikel Arteta, who has provided the forward with ample playing time this season.

Nwaneri is not the only academy player in line for a new contract. Left-back Myles Lewis-Skelly, also 18, has become a vital player for Arsenal this term and has already started discussions about his future.

Both Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly are seen as pivotal to Arsenal's long-term plans, and securing their futures is a top priority for the club.
