CAN’T WAIT FOR HIM TO MAKE HIS DEBUT — ARTETA CALLS UP U23 MIDFIELDER TO REPLACE PARTEY AHEAD OF PSG SHOWDOWN

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has made a bold and exciting decision ahead of his side’s crucial Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain. With Thomas Partey ruled out due to injury, the Gunners boss has confirmed he’s turning to the club’s U23 squad to fill the void — and one academy star has officially earned his big break.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Arteta revealed that after closely watching the academy side’s recent fixture, one young midfielder’s performance left a serious impression on him.

“Since Thomas Partey won’t be available against PSG, I’ve decided to call this U23 academy midfielder to replace him,” Arteta announced. “I watched their game yesterday and was so impressed with how aggressive he is on the ball. He’s fearless, composed, and reads the game like a senior player.”

While Arteta stopped short of naming the youngster publicly in the press conference, inside sources suggest it’s highly-rated prospect Ethan Nwaneri, who has been making waves in the academy setup for his dynamic midfield displays.

Arteta further confirmed that the young midfielder won’t just be on the bench — he’ll be starting against Crystal Palace this weekend as a warm-up to test him ahead of the potential PSG tie.

“He will start for me against Crystal Palace. I want to see him handle the intensity of a Premier League fixture. The kid deserves this chance,” the Spaniard added.

Fans have flooded social media with excitement, eager to see fresh academy talent being integrated into the senior squad — a move Arteta has always championed since taking over at Arsenal.

With Partey sidelined and a massive European clash on the horizon, this could be a breakthrough moment for the U23 star. All eyes will be on him tomorrow as he takes his first official steps onto the Emirates Stadium pitch in front of a roaring home crowd.

Arsenal fans, get ready — the next generation is here.
