According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal are now confident Nwaneri will reject and potential advances and commit his long-term future to the club.

Arsenal are understood to have spoken about first-team assurances with the youngster, something that was reportedly a sticking point between the two parties.

Nwaneri enjoyed a breakout season in 2024-25, scoring nine goals and providing two assists in his 37 games across all competitions.
