Coach Eric Chelle has asked Alex Iwobi to use his Arsenal connections to sound out teenaged sensation Ethan Nwaneri on the possibilities of playing for the Super Eagles in the near future.

The Super Eagles coach met with former Arsenal forward Alex Iwobi Thursday as part of his meet-and-greet with Super Eagles stars ahead of next month’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.

“He has asked Iwobi to talk with the boy’s parents among other things,” a source informed SCORENigeria

Nwaneri, 17, who was born in London, has caught the eye with some assured displays as Arsenal stay in touch with leaders Liverpool for the coveted Premier League crown.

The left-footed midfielder has scored three goals in 14 Premier League appearances this season.

He is already a schoolboy international with England.
