Nwaneri hails mentors Rice and Saka

Arsenal star Ethan Nwaneri has been one of the club's breakout stars this season after rising to prominence at the age of just 18 and he is being tipped to have an incredible career at the Emirates.

Nwaneri has played a key role for Arsenal and stepped up during a difficult time when the club were struggling with injuries. He was amongst the goals against Ipswich this weekend and now has a tally of nine goals and two assists in all competitions.

He's not the only teenager who has impressed after being given a chance in the first team this season.

Myles Lewis-Skelly has also emerged to become the first-choice left-back in the team and his incredible displays have seen him earn his England debut and become part of the team that beat Madrid across both legs.

Of course, for two players so young they will both need to be nurtured and given the right guidance - and Nwaneri has revealed that and have both been given them advice as their main mentors at the club.

"Declan and Bukayo, that's the two who are very close to us," he said. "They help us out, they keep us grounded, they lift us up when we need it as well. They've been brilliant with us.

"It's mainly just personal stuff like how they dealt with things when they were first coming up, and how they dealt with the pressure, and maybe when they didn't play well, or when they did do well, and just managing that."

Julio Baptista tells Arsenal to sign Cunha

Regardless of how this season ends, Arsenal will be desperate to add a new forward to their squad this season after an injury crisis saw Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz ruled out for the rest of the campaign.

Arsenal's struggles to keep up with Liverpool have been down to their lack of goals - compared with the Reds who have seen fire in 27 strikes.

The Gunners have been linked with a number of names, including Ollie Watkins, Alexander Isak and Benjamin Sesko, but former Arsenal man Julio Baptista believes Arteta should consider snapping up Wolves star Matheus Cunha.

The Brazilian has impressed at Molineux with 16 goals in all competitions and while he signed a new deal in January, it is believed he has a release clause of around £62.5m and has openly admitted he wants to leave this summer.

“People talk about Matheus Cunha, the Brazilian. He’s done incredible stuff at , so maybe he’s the player that need," Baptista told .

"Arsenal need to take a look at him, I think. Cunha should definitely be on their shortlist. He has performed brilliantly in a team that has found life difficult at times this season, so you would think that at Arsenal he would score even more goals given the chances that they create and the way they dominate most games. He would also be playing with better players."

Rice gets guitar from Ed Sheeran

Declan Rice has revealed he was gifted a signed guitar from pop superstar after the Shape of You hitmaker congratulated him on his two sensational free kicks against Real Madrid earlier this month.

The England midfielder showed off the gift on with a message that read: "Declan! You play this next time I see you, we'll have a sing song. P.s. killer free-kicks!"

Sheeran sent Rice the guitar despite the fact his Arsenal side beat the singer's beloved Ipswich on Sunday but the pair have a friendship that dates back to Euro 2020. Captain Harry Kane invited Sheeran into the camp to perform with the midfielder as a punishment for being late to a meeting.

"I was late for a meeting and they said, 'you've got to sing'. I said, 'no chance, I'm not singing, I'll do anything but sing'. They were all cracking up.

"Then they went quiet on it. Then organised for Ed to come in and see the lads and have a bit of a chill night and he's gone, 'You've got to get up now and sing'. I thought, 'What, in front of everyone?'

"So we're sat outside on benches and Ed was just playing his guitar and I'm singing Wonderwall."
