Arsenal new star renews contract, youth training treasure locks in the future

Arsenal officially announced that it had completed a contract renewal with 19-year-old youth training forward Ethan Nvanelli, and the rising star who made his mark last season will start the new season wearing the No. 22 jersey. Since completing his Premier League debut in 2022-23, Nvanelli has made a total of 28 appearances and has become an important rotation member of the team's Premier League runner-up for three consecutive years during Saka's injury. Last season, he handed in a record 9 goals and 2 assists, including his experience in 7 Champions League knockout matches.

Although the signing of Chelsea winger Maduaike in the summer window sparked speculation from outside, the Gunners finally reached an agreement with the Youth Training Treasure. When signing, Envanelli said emotionally: "This is my home. The new season will be the starting point for me to truly start my senior team career. I am eager to win honors for the team." It is worth noting that left-back Miles Lewis Skelly, who rose to the same period, has also been renewed, and Arsenal is systematically locking in local youth training talents.

From gradual number change from No. 83, No. 63 to No. 53 to now taking over No. 22 left by Raya, Nvanelli's number changes confirm his growth trajectory. This genius who came out of the Kearney training base is repaying the club's cultivation with continuous progress. After retaining youth training backbones such as Saka and Smith Rowe, Arsenal once again demonstrated its long-term plan for young players.
