Nwaneri is a talented boy but a boy all the same. Arteta will be criticised no matter how he uses him, but Arsenal fans shouldn't expect him to be the answer to their Saka problem.

Bukayo Saka faces “many weeks” on the sidelines after suffering a torn hamstring, while his Arsenal team-mate Raheem Sterling will also be unavailable for a similar period. Saka, 23, was forced off during the first half of Arsenal’s 5-1 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday with an injury to his right leg.
