Ethan Nwaneri forced to 'hand in homework 24 hours after Arsenal debut' - but 18-year-old is now finally allowed to get dressed in Gunners' changing room

Premier League

Everton

Arsenal

<p>Nwaneri became the youngest player in Premier League history aged just 15 years and 181 days when he came on in the dying minutes of a 3-0 win against Brentford in September 2022. The following day, he had to submit his GCSE English homework.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>His teacher, Elle Bewley, told <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/33953344/ethan-nwaneri-homework-arsenal-debut-school-england/" target="_blank"><em>The Sun</em></a>: “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.”</p>

WHAT NWANERI'S TEACHER SAID

<p>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.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Due to his age, Nwaneri was prevented from using the same dressing room as his Arsenal team-mates, but that changed on Friday when he turned 18. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Nwaneri earned his first call-up to the England Under-21 squad for their friendly matches against France and Portugal.</p>
