Arsenal have tied down wonderkid Ethan Nwaneri to a five-year contract to reward his continued rapid rise.

As Mail Sport revealed in March, the Gunners had proposed a five-year contract to the 18-year-old — and that finally has now been agreed between all parties.

The attacker, who is one of Arsenal's most promising prospects, scored nine goals in 37 appearances in his breakthrough season as he stepped up on the right wing to fill a gap left by Bukayo Saka's hamstring injury.

Nwaneri previously signed his first professional contract with the Gunners last year aged 17 — the youngest eligible age to sign such terms — which was three years in length.
