Arteta thrilled with Nwaneri's confidence following Arsenal's victory at Leicester

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expressed his satisfaction with the confidence displayed by Ethan Nwaneri (17) following the victory against Leicester City on Saturday.

Nwaneri consistently impressed whenever he had the ball during the match.

Arteta said afterwards: "Well, what he's showing basically, that's him. Obviously, his age is always something that puts a question mark on how we have to deal with him.

"But every sign that he's given us is ‘Let me go for it, let me go, let me go, let me go.’ When a player is giving you all those signs, you should not stop it.

It is essential to engage with that sense of freedom, creativity, and confidence that he is currently exhibiting, as well as to ensure that the players surrounding him have faith in his abilities.

"So let him go because he's a massive threat, massive talent and he deserves to play."

He also stated: "I think he was one of the few in the first half as well that every time he was on the ball he made things happen.

It was evident that he possessed a heightened level of threat compared to the other members of the team, and he maintained this intensity in the second half with two impressive plays. Subsequently, he provided an excellent assist for Mikel (Merino), enabling him to score with a header.
