Everton learn Ethan Nwaneri transfer reality after Hill Dickinson Stadium development
Arsenal will surely hope Everton target Ethan Nwaneri fulfils his potential in the coming years.
Nwaneri is being linked with a move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with the Toffees monitoring his situation under Mikel Arteta.
Despite the immense talent the 18-year-old has shown at the Emirates Stadium, he’s made just six Premier League appearances this season.
The Friedkin Group are looking to sign players on loan for David Moyes, but it will seemingly be challenging to pry the English youngster from the North London outfit.
Arsenal don’t want Ethan Nwaneri loan amid Everton interest
Arsenal don’t plan on sending Nwaneri on loan in January, according to football.london.
The news outlet reports on 15 January that despite the England Under-21 international’s links away from the Emirates Stadium, he’s not available for loan.
It’s been claimed that the Gunners don’t think it’s necessary to send Nwaneri away temporarily, despite him playing just over 500 minutes this season.
Considering Moyes’ interest in Fenerbahce striker Youssef En-Nesyri, it’s clear that the Toffees are looking to reinforce the attack in the coming weeks.
Beto and Thierno Barry have a combined five goals in the Premier League this season, and without Iliman Ndiaye, Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, the Blues have struggled in the final third.
Ethan Nwaneri links hint at one player already unwanted by David Moyes
Merlin Rohl has struggled to live up to expectations under Moyes, failing to secure a place in the starting lineup since his summer move from Freiburg.
Everton seem to have already lost faith in the 23-year-old, whose recurring fitness issues have also frustrated fans.

| Successful dribbles | 1/2 |

The 23-year-old played 86 minutes against Sunderland in the FA Cup third-round defeat at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, and wasn’t able to make much of an impression.
Adam Aznou replaced Rohl as the Toffees were trailing at home and made an immediate impact after coming on, highlighting the uphill battle the German midfielder may face to win over the Scottish manager and supporters.
