Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is set to welcome a new player into the senior dressing room despite the January transfer window closing earlier this week. Though the Gunners were actively looking for reinforcements, particularly in attack, Arteta has not been able to add any fresh faces to his squad.

Mikel Arteta has called on his Arsenal squad to regroup during their warm-weather training break in Dubai and target a trophy-winning end to the season after losing their Carabao Cup semifinal to Newcastle United.

England recognition, initially at Under-21 level, is certain to follow but safeguarding rules mean that, unlike fellow breakthrough star Myles Lewis-Skelly, Nwaneri still isn’t allowed to change in the dressing room on matchdays.
