Former Arsenal star Martin Keown believes Ethan Nwaneri is ready to step up and fill the void left by Bukayo Saka in the Gunners’ squad.
Saka is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury and is expected to be out of action for several weeks.
“I don’t know of a player who has created more chances for his teammates in the Premier League this season, so he’s obviously going to be a really big miss,” Keown told talkSPORT when asked about Saka’s absence.
“It’s up to someone to step up, maybe [Ethan] Nwaneri, who has been playing in the [Martin] Odegaard role. Perhaps he could come into the front line and give us something different.
“He’s a left-footed player, so why not push him into the top line? There are options for the manager.”
