Ethan Nwaneri
18-Year-Old
Arsenal
Premier
Serves as backup
Nwaneri has scored one goal in three starts across all competitions as he continues to play a limited role with the team.
ANALYSIS
Following last season's breakout campaign of nine goals and two assists in 37 matches (15 starts), Nwaneri has taken on a smaller role for Arsenal this season. He's been an unused substitute in seven games while starting only three matches across all competitions, with one coming in the Champions League and two in the FA Cup. The 18-year-old Arsenal academy product remains behind Eberechi Eze and Martin Odegaard in the attacking midfield role and hasn't started on the right wing, with coach Mikel Arteta preferring Bukayo Saka, Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli in that spot. His only goal this season came in his recent FA Cup appearance against Brighton.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Cherries keeping close tabs
Bournemouth are interested in acquiring Nwaneri on loan, according to The Independent.
ANALYSIS
The Cherries could use another playmaker in midfield, and Nwaneri fits the mold of a player who could thrive in Andoni Iraola's system. Landing him won't be easy, though, as Arsenal aren't keen on letting their promising playmaker leave. Nwaneri's best move for his development would be a move away from the Emirates Stadium for the time being.
