15-year-old Nigerian, Ethan Nwaneri, Makes Football History with Arsenal Debut

Femi Ashekun/

Nigerian-born Arsenal player, Ethan Nwaneri, has made history by becoming the Premier League’s youngest debutant at just 15 years of age.

The promising midfielder, who was born in March 2007, stepped off the bench to make his Gunners debut in the closing stages of a 3-0 victory over Brentford this afternoon.

He has now taken Harvey Elliott’s record as the Premier League’s youngest debutant, while also nudging Jack Wilshere down a similar list for north London giants.

Nwaneri, who is an England U17 international, was just 15 years and 181 days old when taking to the field at the Brentford Community Stadium.
