Raheem Sterling sends three-word message to Arsenal sensation Ethan Nwaneri
Arsenal star Raheem Sterling has taken to social media to send a message to Ethan Nwaneri after setting the youngster up for his first Premier League goal.
The 29-year-old came on for the last seven minutes of Arsenal’s 3-0 Premier League win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday (November 23).
Sterling played a lovely one-two with Nwaneri, 17, providing the assist for the youngster’s first Premier League goal of his short career.
Despite the win, Mikel Arteta’s side remain in fourth, a whopping nine points behind runaway league leaders Liverpool in the race for the Premier League title.
All of Chelsea, Arsenal, and Brighton have the exact same record in the league so far, winning six, drawing four, and losing two of their 12 games.

Sterling, who joined the club on loan from Chelsea on transfer deadline day, has struggled for minutes since making the move.
With just 130 Premier League minutes spread across five games under his belt, the winger will no doubt be hoping to get more consistent game time going into the hectic festive period.
For now, he will have to be content with what he gets, taking to Instagram to celebrate his assist and congratulate Nwaneri.
Arsenal’s Hale End academy seems to have produced another gem, just a few years after Bukayo Saka broke into the first team.
Expectations will have to be managed, but even if Nwaneri turns out to be half the player Saka is, Arsenal fans will love him.
