  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Teenager Nwaneri has earned his Arsenal game time after some impressive performances but he has, arguably, been fast-tracked due to the club's injury issues this season. Bukayo Saka, Ben White, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Raheem Sterling are all out injured and that is not helping the Gunners' hunt for trophies this term.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Nwaneri — who turns 18 in March — has made 18 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal this season, scoring five goals along the way. He is seen as the latest academy gem at the club.
