The 18-year-old winger, who has impressed this season with eight goals in 29 appearances, has attracted interest from top clubs, including Manchester City and Chelsea.
However, according to the Daily Mail, Nwaneri is set to commit his long-term future to Arsenal.
Initially signing a three-year professional contract due to FA regulations, the Gunners now aim to lock him down for a more extended period.
His breakthrough in Mikel Arteta’s squad, largely due to Bukayo Saka’s injury, has solidified his place in the first team.
While City had previously monitored him as a potential addition to Pep Guardiola’s squad, a move now seems unlikely as Nwaneri prepares to remain in North London.
Manchester United, Liverpool & Aston Villa Tracking Ferran Torres
Manchester United, Liverpool, and Aston Villa are reportedly showing strong interest in Barcelona forward Ferran Torres.
🚨 Barcelona would be willing to sell Ferran Torres for about £30m with Aston Villa, Liverpool and Manchester United interested.

The Spanish international, who previously played for Manchester City, has been identified as a potential signing, with Barcelona open to a sale due to financial constraints.
Fichajes reports that the La Liga giants are willing to part ways with Torres for around £30m.
Since his arrival at Barcelona in 2022, Torres has contributed seven goals and two assists in 20 La Liga appearances this season.
His consistent performances have attracted the attention of several Premier League clubs, with Aston Villa’s manager, Unai Emery, reportedly pushing for a move.
Should United decide to make an offer, they would be bringing a familiar face back to Manchester.
Torres initially joined City in 2020 for around £21m before making his switch to Spain.
With Barcelona looking to balance their books, a summer transfer to the Premier League appears increasingly likely.
Upcoming Fixtures: Manchester City and United Prepare for Crucial Games
Both Manchester clubs are gearing up for crucial matches as the season reaches its business end.
Manchester City will face Bournemouth in the FA Cup quarter-finals before resuming their Premier League campaign against Leicester City on April 2.
Manchester United returns to action on April 1 against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
The two Manchester rivals are also set to clash in the final derby of the season on April 6 at Old Trafford, with United aiming to repeat their dramatic 2-1 victory in December.
As the race for Champions League spots intensifies, both clubs are expected to make significant moves in the transfer window to address their weaknesses and reinforce their squads.
