London, England - August 29, 2023

Arsenal Football Club has made history by fielding Ethan Nwaneri, 17, in the Premier League match against Brentford. Nwaneri becomes the youngest player to ever play in the English top flight, surpassing the previous record held by Harvey Elliott.

Nwaneri, who was born on March 21, 2007, in London, England, has been a rising star in Arsenal's academy. He has been capped at the England U17 level and is considered one of the most promising young talents in the country.

Nwaneri's appearance in the match was unexpected, as he was not initially included in the Arsenal squad. However, an injury to another player forced manager Mikel Arteta to make a late change, and Nwaneri was given the nod.

Nwaneri's historic debut has been met with widespread praise from the footballing world. Arsenal legend Thierry Henry tweeted: "What a moment for Ethan Nwaneri! Dreams do come true." Former England manager Roy Hodgson said: "This is a landmark day for English football."
