      Nwaneri became the youngest player in Premier League history when he came off the bench at Brentford in September aged just 15 years and 181 days.
      His schoolboy terms at the Emirates expire this summer and he is yet to agree an extension.
      And according to The Athletic, rival Premier League clubs are ready to swoop.
      The Manchester clubs and Chelsea have identified the youngster as an exciting talent and continue to monitor the situation in the hopes of landing the midfielder.

      But while the Prem giants hope to snap up Nwaneri, the report adds Arsenal still remain confident they can keep hold of him.
      They have offered a fresh deal and negotiations are said to be underway once again – but a decision is yet to be made.
      Nwaneri was not even born when the Emirates Stadium opened and the schoolkid is yet to complete his GCSEs.
      He joined Arsenal when he was nine and made his Under-18s debut at 14, scoring a stunning solo goal.

      And he got his chance in the first team when injuries took their toll on Mikel Arteta’s squad earlier in the season.
      Arsenal have already convinced Nwaneri’s Gunners and England U17s team-mate Myles Lewis-Skelly to put pen to paper on a contract extension in North London.
      The pair are currently at the European U17 Championships in Hungary and have both been on the scoresheet already.
      Nwaneri grabbed the only goal of the game against Croatia in their Group D opener before Lewis-Skelly opened the scoring in the 4-1 win over the Netherlands.
      England face Switzerland in their final group game on Wednesday. More

      Mount has been heavily linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge at the end of the season as he prepares to enter the final 12 months of his contract.
      Negotiations between the Blues and the player have stalled during this season.
      And that has opened the door to a potential departure, with owner Todd Boehly keen to offload any members of the squad with less than one year left.
      According to The Athletic, Chelsea are set to make one final push to agree terms with Mount – who has been with the club since 2005.

      But Arsenal, Liverpool and Man Utd are all circling as they look to prise him away from West London.
      Mikel Arteta is seeking additional central midfielders to support Thomas Partey, Jorginho and Granit Xhaka.
      Xhaka, 30, is also being linked with a departure to Bayer Leverkusen this summer as he too enters the final year of his contract.
      Alongside Mount, Arsenal are understood to be interested in Premier League captains Declan Rice and Ilkay Gundogan.

      Rice, 24, is expected to leave West Ham at the end of the season.
      Man Utd and Chelsea are admirers of the Hammers midfielder, but the Gunners have identified him as their “main target”.
      And Manchester City skipper Gundogan, 32, is another possible acquisition for Arsenal.
      The German midfielder, who lifted the Premier League title on Sunday, is out of contract at the end of the season.
      Barcelona are widely agreed to be the frontrunners to sign the ex-Borussia Dortmund man.
      But Arsenal are also keeping tabs on him should the opportunity to strike a deal arise.
