Ethan Nwaneri has been called up by the England u19s for the current international break, after his strong showings with the Arsenal first team in September.
Nwaneri impressed in cameos against Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City, but he really caught the eye with a couple of League Cup goals in a start against Bolton Wanderers.
But somewhat surprisingly, Nwaneri is the only Arsenal youngster involved with England from the u18s to the u21s.
The likes of Myles Lewis-Skelly, Ayden Heaven, and Tommy Setford haven’t been included, despite call-ups in September. Though in Setford’s case, that’s likely due to injury.
Arsenal have received some youth call-ups from other national teams, however, with Maldini Kacurri, Brayden Clarke, Will Sweet, and Cam’ron Ismail all set to feature over the break.
Kacurri will be involved with the Albania u21s in their u21 Euros qualifiers, Clarke and Sweet will be with the Wales u19s for a couple of friendlies, and Ismail will join a training camp for the Egypt u20s.
Let’s take a look at when each of the youth internationals will be in action.
