What sort of position does Nwaneri play predominantly? Not sure why we’d be interested if he’s a RW when we’ll have Neto and Estevão there. And centrally we have Palmer and now João Pedro. 

He plays predominantly on the RW, but can play the AM role too. But because of his good dribbling and crossing , Arteta likes him on the right. Long term wise, if he stays, you would imagine he will take the AM role as Saka's spot is not being shifted. I am not sure what position Nwaneri prefers though and this may be a big part of his decision to sign a contract or not.

but months ago like 5-6 months ago it was said to me that something like this could easily happen and it’s not *necessarily* just Ethan’s camp using us for a new contract

a tad similar to Omari Hutchinson's move.

yh I don’t think he does, and as much as I don’t think he’d get any good gametime here, players definitely trust us over Arsenal to setup a good loan and then get an opportunity in the game somewhere.

(via@CFCParee)

Similarly to Lewis-Skelly, I can't help but think Nwaneri's agent is trying to muster the best possible deal by dragging other clubs into it, to get a better deal, even though I think it is more likely that Nwaneri would consider leaving than MLS.

However, Nwaneri swapping Arsenal to Chelsea would make no sense. He has been part of Arsenal's squad when he was 17 and started a number of games when Saka was out and was very impressive. Since Saka returned his minutes has been reduced, which has annoyed Arsenal fans, but again he was just 17 at the time, so Arteta probably was biding his time with him. Either way, if Nwaneri joins us, he will not be joining to be loaned out. If he moves from Arsenal, he will be moving to play, not be loaned out. If he wanted the best opportunity, he is best of moving abroad. But I think he will stay once he is given assurances.

Hutchinson was not part of Arsenal's first team squad. Nwaneri was and has played several times for them this season. Reminds me of Foden, when he was coming up at City and was slightly older than Nwaneri is now and people were bemused that Pep never gave him chances, then when David Silva left, he got his chance and he kicked on. But he had to wait patiently for his chance. I would take him here of course because I think Nwaneri is a top talent, but being honest, him moving here would make no sense to me and I don't buy it at all.

Ornstein reporting 50M turned down from Spurs to WHU....told you 

Says he’s prioritizing Spuds as well. Think he sees his path to being an every match starter more viable at Spuds than he does here so that makes sense.

Kudus is prioritising Spurs if he leaves West Ham

Are Chelsea even in for him like that then? Hmm.

I think Chelsea see a chance they can get Nwaneri and have distanced themselves from Kudus....

at least all our winger targets (Kudus, Malick Fofana, Nwaneri, and Rodrygo perhaps) are all good to great players, none of those 4 are shite at all

Anyone know if this was directed to Noni? Or did Maresca say it in general and they are just assuming it is about Noni?

Steinberg (typically reports on West Ham transfers) just posted that WHU rejected Spurs bid as they are expecting a bigger offer for Kudus from Chelsea...

Malick Fofana is a better target

Join the Fofana train. I welcome you to the Nico Williams is overrated team. We have refreshments in the club house.

Kudus makes sense because he’s highly experienced and ready to step right in in a number of areas. 

As big of a talent as Nwaneri may be is he really the profile of player an already super young team needs? Keeping in mind that we ALSO have Quenda coming in as a winger next summer!

absolutely, we have (as I have said for ages) an overload of left-footed wingers/AMFs

  • Nico Williams has signed a new 10-year contract at Athletic Bilbao with a €100m release clause and a salary of €10m net per year. (Fabrizio Romano)

That is £332K PW gross wages

Sterling level

and for TEN YEARS

so £173m gross wages in toto!!!

madness
