There were fears the teenager could leave the Emirates on a free transfer as talks over a new deal had yet to bear fruit.
But according to The BBC, the 18-year-old is on the verge of inking a new contract with the north Londoners.
The Beeb claims both parties have agreed terms over a new four-year deal.
Nwaneri will receive a massive pay rise as a result of his new contract.
His current deal sees him earn a cool £10,000 a week.
But he’s now on course to be one of the highest-paid teenagers in the world.
News of Nwaneri’s imminent signing of a new deal will be music to the ears of the Emirates faithful.
The north Londoners’ Prem rivals Chelsea were weighing up a shock swoop for the England Under-21 international.
Arsenal, however, were relaxed about the Blues’ interest in the midfielder and remained confident he’d pen a new deal.
Nwaneri made his Premier League debut for the Gunners in a 3-0 win over Brentford in September 2022.
He became the youngest player in Prem history by taking to the pitch aged 15 years and 181 days.
Nwaneri has made a total of 39 appearances for Arsenal’s first team, scoring nine goals and providing two assists in the process.
