Mikel Arteta calls up ‘special’ Arsenal teenager for pre-season trip to Germany



 Arsenal are due to jet off to Germany for their pre-season plans this summer and Mikel Arteta looks like giving youth a chance over in mainland Europe.


The Gunners are looking to get some hard yards in the bank as well as playing some decent friendlies while in Germany.

For Mikel Arteta, it will be a crucial exercise to see where his team is at, as well as being able to integrate new players such as Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber into proceedings.

Of course, it’s also a chance for Arteta to have a look at some of his young talents. And according to Arsenal youth specialist Jorge Bird, Arteta has told teenage sensation Ethan Nwaneri that he will be part of the travelling pack.

Nwaneri, who has recently signed a new deal with the club, burst onto the scene last year when he became Arsenal’s youngest ever Premier League player at just 15.

Nwaneri getting the chance to show his worth over in Germany is massive for him. It’s a chance to integrate with the first-team over a period of time where team bonding will come into play.


No doubt, Mikel Arteta will be judging how Nwaneri is around the place just as much as his talent. And if he passes both tests with flying colours, then first-team chances could well come his wa

 Arsenal still have the opportunity to build Mikel Arteta’s dream midfield this summer by acquiring the services of Moises Caicedo from Brighton. The Ecuador international looked destined to join Chelsea this summer, though negotiations are ‘not close’ with the Stamford Bridge outfit. Following their impressive 2022/23 campaign, Arteta made it clear that he wanted to continue strengthening his squad in order to close the gap on Manchester City. The Spaniard prioritised a rebuild in midfield – allowing Granit Xhaka to leave and putting several players in the shop window. Thomas Partey is among those who could depart, with Saudi clubs circling in hope of landing the Ghana international. Thus, Arsenal could add another top-quality player to their midfield ranks – with Caicedo still admired. Earlier this summer, Arteta intended on signing both the Brighton star and  Declan Rice  but the finances involved became a deterrent and they prioritised the latter, who recently arrived...

YOU DESERVE IT’: PLAYER MIKEL ARTETA LET GO REACTS TO ARSENAL SIGNING DECLAN RICE

  Ainsley Maitland-Niles has told Declan Rice that he ‘deserves’ his transfer to Arsenal following his club-record move from West Ham United. The Arsenal fans had to wait a while, but Declan Rice is now their player after £105 million was put on the table for his signature, as reported by Sky Sports. Whilst Rice enters the door, the man who has just left, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, has just ended his long stay with the club after his contract expired and he had nothing but kind words to say about the former Hammers captain on Instagram.  Whilst Maitland-Niles, who was on-loan at Southampton last season, is no longer associated with Arsenal, it’s pretty obvious that he will still follow how his former club fair in their quest to win the Premier League title again. The Hale-End academy product won the FA Cup during his time at the Emirates, but it’s becoming champions of England which the fans crave the most. Nonetheless, this was the following message Maitland-Niles sent to Rice a...
