Former Chelsea star Jole Cole has called on the England manager Thomas Tuchel to extend invitation to Arsenal forward, Ethan Nwaneri.
Recall that the 17-year-old became the youngest man to play in the Premier League in 2022 and has since become a standout player for manager Mikel Arteta who has clearly found the perfect replacement for Bukayo Saka this season.
Nwaneri has scored eight goals and notched one assist in all competitions and continues to prove himself as one of Europe’s elite young players.

With the England set to face Albania and Latvia later this month, Cole in a chat with TNT Sports, urged Tuchel to name Nwaneri to the senior squad.
“For me, he’s so good that he doesn’t need the U21s,” Cole told TNT Sports. “In my opinion, he’s that good. He needs to go straight in with Thomas Tuchel, get around the squad and get some minutes.
“He’s an England player for the next 10-15 years. Wonderful talent, great mentality, he’s at the right club at the right time. I’ll be stunned if Tuchel doesn’t have a good look at him and bring him in to his first squad.
“I think is going to be an absolute genius. I think he’s the most exciting footballer in England and maybe Europe. What he’s doing is incredible.”
