Liverpool are among the clubs that have been backed to make a move for an Arsenal star should the Gunners fail to resolve his contractual situation.
Arsenal and Liverpool are two of the biggest clubs in England and regularly compete for the Premier League title and feature in the Champions League. While Arne Slot’s side won the Premier League title last season, Mikel Arteta’s side ended up second in the table and admirably reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Given that Liverpool and Arsenal are direct rivals, not many would expect the two Premier League clubs to get involved in transfer deals with each other.
However, according to a report, Arsenal could lose one of their best attacking players to Liverpool next summer.
Ethan Nwaneri enjoyed a breakthrough season at Arsenal in the 2024/25 campaign, scoring nine goals and giving two assists in 37 matches in all competitions.
The 18-year-old right-winger got his chance because of Bukayo Saka’s injury and made the most of it.
However, with the teenager, who was part of the England team that won the European Under-21 Championship this summer, out of contract at the end of next season, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City have been suggested as possible destinations by TBR journalist Graeme Bailey.
Bailey exclusively told TBR: “With Raheem Sterling leaving, that does open up the right hand side, but the real concern for Arsenal is obviously Nwaneri.
“I think they’re going to lose him. Yeah, it’s looking very, very bad for them in that area – and it’s nothing to do with the finances or anything.
“I’m told he’s got his pick of clubs around Europe when he’s out of contract next summer.
“Nwaneri will be one of the most wanted players. If he gets to next summer and he hasn’t signed his contract, he’ll literally have his pick of clubs from around the world.
