Arsenal winger Ethan Nwaneri could spend the remainder of the season playing as a central forward.
Earlier today it was reported that Kai Havertz suffered a hamstring injury during Arsenal training camp in Dubai. The German is expected to miss the rest of the season leaving Mikel Arteta with only Nwaneri with Raheem Sterling and Leandro Trossard as attacking options as Bukayo Saka with Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus are also unavailable.
Trossard who has experience playing as a number 9 is the most likely choice. However Arteta may also take a creative approach and test 17-year-old Nwaneri in the role. The young talent has already scored seven goals this season.
Earlier in the campaign Arteta himself mentioned that Nwaneri could develop into a striker in the future. Given the squad current injury crisis Arsenal may be forced to accelerate this transition.
