The impending departure of Chido Obi-Martin to Manchester United has left many at the north London club with a feeling of disappointment at seeing another potentially top class teenager leave for a rival club. Despite the doubts young players harbour about their chances of making an impact at first team level under Arteta, the Arsenal boss is understood to remain steadfast in his belief that talent cannot be rushed. That said, according to the Daily Mail, Arsenal believe Ethan Nwaneri is likely to play a more prominent role this season. Already the teenage midfielder has given an indication of his talent on the current tour of America, impressing against Manchester United over the weekend during which he created a goal for Gabriel Jesus.
