His teacher, Elle Bewley, told : “I'm not joking, he just walked into school on Monday, gave me his homework, sat down and got on with it. No discussion, no distraction. Nothing.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
The cameo against Brentford was Nwaneri's only senior appearance that season and he made one more in the 2023-24 campaign. This season, though, Mikel Arteta has called on him regularly, handing the teenager 29 appearances in all competitions.
