Ethan Nwaneri\u2019s future has become a big talking point at Arsenal.<\/p>\n

The teenager is one of the most talented young players in the world, but he is not getting the game time he needs under Mikel Arteta<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nwaneri has played less than 500 minutes of football in all competitions so far this season, and he is yet to start a game in the Premier League<\/a>. <\/p>\n

That has led to rumours that he could leave on loan, and Bournemouth are among the clubs interested.<\/p>\n

If you were in Ethan Nwaneri\u2019s shoes right now, would you stay at Arsenal or leave on loan? <\/p>\n

Bournemouth want to sign Ethan Nwaneri on loan<\/p>\n

If Ethan Nwaneri<\/a> is made available on loan, several clubs across Europe will want to sign him.<\/p>\n

The teenager may still only be 18, but he has proven that he is good enough to play at the highest level against the top players. <\/p>\n

Nwaneri\u2019s ability to play anywhere in attack, combined with his quality to create and score goals, makes him a terrific player for most clubs.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear what Arsenal will decide to do with the youngster, but the Daily Mail<\/a> have claimed that there are suitors lining up. <\/p>\n

One of the clubs interested in Nwaneri is Bournemouth, whose manager, Andoni Iraola, used to be a teammate of Arteta back in Spain. <\/p>\n

The Arsenal manager<\/a> rates his compatriot so highly that he has described the work he has done at Bournemouth as \u2018unbelievable\u2019 (Arsenal.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The Cherries host the Gunners in the Premier League on Saturday, and the two Spanish coaches could potentially have a word with each other about Nwaneri.<\/p>\n

In other news, Chelsea are said to be keen to sign Nwaneri <\/a>too. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s the lowest transfer fee you would sell Arsenal star Ethan Nwaneri to Chelsea for? <\/p>\n

What Mikel Arteta said about Ethan Nwaneri before Bournemouth vs Arsenal<\/p>\n

Nwaneri hasn\u2019t played for Arsenal since the game against Club Brugge in the Champions League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Hale End graduate was even left out of the squad when Aston Villa came to the Emirates<\/a>, and there is a chance that he will miss out against Bournemouth as well.<\/p>\n

For that reason, Arteta was asked whether Nwaneri would be available on loan this month amid all the rumours linking him away. <\/p>\n

He replied, as per Arsenal.com<\/a>: \u201cEvery player is very important, every player has a role. That role can change throughout the season for different reasons, and everybody has to be ready to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

That was neither a yes nor a no from the Arsenal manager, so we will have to wait and see how this pans out in the coming weeks. <\/p>\n
