Though, Wenger, who knows a thing or two about giving opportunities to players at a young age, thinks the 17-year-old can be a key player for Arsenal like Cesc Fabregas was 20 years ago.
After being interrupted by host Richard Keys who reminded the former Arsenal manager that this was the case with Fabregas, Wenger responded by saying: “Of course but the sign of a special talent is they are ready early.”.
Arsene Wenger has hailed Arsenal wonderkid Ethan Nwaneri as a “special talent” amid comparisons to Cesc Fabregas.
It remains to be seen if Nwaneri can emulate Fabregas at Arsenal in the future, but he has certainly got a big role to play between now and the end of the season.
“Nwaneri is more a creator through his final ball, his dribbling and the quality of his passing,” Wenger said on beIN SPORTS in reference to Fabregas.
