Arteta names player Arsenal have to manage after win against Nottingham Forest

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has reacted to his side’s win against Nottingham Forest on Saturday in the English Premier League as he singled out one player.

Arteta insisted that the Gunners will need to manage Ethan Nwaneri following his impressive performance against Nottingham Forest this weekend.

The North London club manager watched as Nwaneri scored Arsenal’s third goal against Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium.

Recall that Bukayo Saka and Thomas Partey gave the Gunners a two-goal lead before Nwaneri made it three for the hosts late in the second half of the encounter, sealing the win and securing three points for the North Londoners.

Speaking at his post-match conference, Arteta said Arsenal is responsible for building a career for the 17-year-old.

The manager said the club has to do so brick by brick.

“Now you have to put the cement in to make sure the next brick sticks. If we put five or six bricks straight away it won’t work. We have to manage him,” Arteta said.

Following the win against Nottingham Forest, Arsenal will return to action in the UEFA Champions League during the week where they will face Sporting as their next opponent in the tournament.
