Nwaneri is intelligent enough to adapt to playing in midfield even for this current team. There are not 5 players on this current team who have better technique and composure. I would say only Partey, Ødegaard, Zinchenko and Saka have an edge on him technically in the current team. But 17 year old Nwaneri is definitely more gifted than 17 year old Saka was on the ball.

Will be in midfield with Ødegaard and Rice inside 2 years if he's given first team opportunities.
I have compared him to Wilshere, Joe Cole and even Rooney, but the more I watch him, the more he reminds me of Özil. He has Özil and RVP in his technique. Still think his vision and passing are a bit underrated. You can just see that he can develop into any type of player he wants to be. Scary thing is he'll get stronger, more explosive and even sharper on and off the ball.

Worrying times for Nwaneri, Arteta said this about ESR too.
ESR career here got ruined by injuries.

And, Arteta is still sticking by him and selecting him. I think he really likes ESR.

I’d say he is very similar to Musiala in terms of current players who are playing.

He scored a really nice goal in the latest training vid. Do wonder how close he actually is to a bench spot.

Arsenal currently looks like having these for three positions:
Ødegaard, Rice, new DMF/CMF, Partey, Jorginho, Vieira, ESR. Plus Havertz.
That's 8 players. Partey, Vieira and ESR are injury-prone, so that basically makes it 6,5 players to depend on. Havertz plays more as a CF though, so it makes it 6 players. And Jorginho can't play a lot, or even full games.
Nwaneri could also begin his 1st team experience as a winger as that's a bit easier position to start with, in men's games. And later when his body grows and he gets used to top football, switch to the midfield.
Will be interesting to see if someone leaves, but I certainly think it's not many. Doubt Arteta will give up on ESR and Vieira yet, and sell them for peanuts.
I think we should play him in midfield from the get go. He is not really a winger even though he can do a job there. He never looks as involved when he plays on the wing for England youth sides even though he still scores at a good rate for them. He just feels like that type of player that needs the ball to feet as much as possible playing on the half turn.

Sure, it's just an idea, because midfield is a lot more difficult position for a youngster to master. That's why most of youngsters will shine as wingers, but recently it has changed a bit with the super talents we see. So it's possible for Nwaneri too.
Arteta has played even Vieira as RW, so he might do it.
He still can't play a lot in his first season for a title challenging Arsenal team, and his body has to get used to it.

Arteta has already given up on them. Look how many minutes they have gotten this season. They not even viable option from the bench. That’s a manager who don’t rate those players

Arteta has to start integrating him more or we will risk losing him, like City with Palmer.

Now has more goals than Foden for the u17. He is a different maker

I've been saying all along, if we sell Nketiah/Nelson/ESR/Jesus we should put our main money on a goal machine and let players like Ethan hoover up the rest of the spare minutes.
