Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira has warned Mikel Arteta about rushing to give Ethan Nwaneri regular first-team minutes before the youngster is ready.
Nwaneri has been seen as the next great young talent since he made his Premier League debut at the age of 15 in 2022.
The 17-year-old scored a superb goal on Wednesday as Arsenal defeated Preston North End 3-0 in the Carabao Cup.
Nwaneri has made just four brief cameo appearances in the Premier League this season.
However, there are calls for Arteta to give Nwaneri more playing time in the Premier League this season.
