Mikel Arteta wants new signings for Arsenal's forward line - in Nwaneri, he has a player for his short-, medium- and long-term ambitions

Arsenal goalscorer Ethan Nwaneri said his match-winning strike against Girona that marked his full Champions League debut was “one of the highlights” of his career. The 17-year-old became the second-youngest English scorer in the competition on Wednesday after Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham when he curled in a fine effort just before half-time in Catalonia to complete a 2-1 comeback win from a goal down and ensure his side’s progression.

Girona, Arsenal's opponent, have already been eliminated and come in sat 31st on just three points. Girona only managed to win a single game in the league phase out of seven. Their European journey comes to an end after the game, but they can still play spoiler to Arsenal's ambitions of finishing as high as possible.

Arsenal are well set to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League ahead of the final night of action in the league phase
