Ethan Nwaneri has decided to stay at Arsenal instead of pursuing a loan move this month, despite limited playing time.
This season, Nwaneri has not started a Premier League match and has played a total of just 166 minutes, appearing as a substitute in six games.
Several clubs in the Premier League, including Bournemouth, are considering loan offers for him.

However, the young player prefers to stay and compete for a spot in the team. According to the Independent, Nwaneri believes that being part of Arsenal’s title challenge will aid his development more than playing regularly for another team.
If Arsenal wins against Liverpool at the Emirates tonight, they could extend their lead to eight points at the top of the Premier League.
Nwaneri is hesitant to leave the club mid-season, especially during a promising title run. Arsenal last claimed the Premier League title in the 2003/04 season.
