Ethan Nwaneri in Line for Surprise England Call-Up Under Thomas Tuchel

Arsenal Starlet’s Breakthrough Season Catches the Eye of New England Boss

Arsenal’s teenage sensation Ethan Nwaneri is reportedly being considered for a shock senior England call-up by new manager Thomas Tuchel, despite being just 17 years old.

According to the Daily Mail, Tuchel has been closely monitoring Nwaneri’s performances this season, where he has stepped up in Bukayo Saka’s absence, scoring eight goals in 27 appearances across all competitions.

Tuchel’s First England Squad: A Bold Approach?

Tuchel, who officially took charge of England earlier this year, is set to announce his first squad next week. While many believe Nwaneri should gain experience with the Under-21s, there is serious consideration for a direct promotion to the senior team.

FA chief Mark Bullingham recently highlighted Tuchel’s meticulous scouting process:

“He’s made very good connections with the players and he’s been to a lot of games. He’s energised and it’s going really well. He has 55 players on his longlist and ensures strong connections with them.”

Could Nwaneri Be Joined by Myles Lewis-Skelly?

Nwaneri isn’t the only Arsenal youngster on Tuchel’s radar. His close friend and teammate Myles Lewis-Skelly, who has excelled at left-back this season under Mikel Arteta, is also being considered for a call-up.

While injuries in the coming days could increase the chances of both players making the final squad, Tuchel is said to be open to rewarding young talent if they continue their impressive form.

What This Means for England

🔹 A new era under Tuchel – Will he prioritize youth over experience?
🔹 Nwaneri’s rapid rise – Is he ready for the senior stage?
🔹 Arsenal’s future stars – Could this be the beginning of a golden generation?
