Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is the ideal boss to help Premier League teen sensation Ethan Nwaneri build his career. 

'Extra special' Nwaneri grabbed his first top flight goal at the end of the Gunners dominant 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the Emirates on Saturday. 

Arteta explained why he was managing Nwaneri's minutes "step by step" after easing past Forest.

"He's giving us all the reasons to play, another reason to put him there," said the Arsenal boss.

"I am responsible to build a career for him. You have to do that brick by brick. Today he put another brick.

"Now we have to put cement, make sure it doesn't get dry so we can put another one and that will stick. Then we put one more layer, one more layer.

"If you want to put five in a row believe me - it won't work. We have to manage not only his expectation but his workload as well, which is really important.

"You can sense how much the crowd loves watching this kid play and the energy."
