Alan Smith tips Arsenal to cash in on academy graduateAlan Smith has suggested that Arsenal could consider selling Ethan Nwaneri this summer because the attacker would represent pure profit as he continues to struggle to establish himself in the clubs first team.Nwaneri is one of the most highly regarded players to emerge from the Arsenal academy in recent years, and the Gunners sent him on loan to Olympique Marseille at the start of this year to aid his development.Although he did not receive as much playing time as Arsenal would have hoped during his spell away from the club, there is little doubt that he remains one of the most talented teenagers in world football.Arsenals Long-Term View on NwaneriThe Gunners continue to regard Nwaneri as a player who could become an important part of their squad in the future. Arsenal have worked closely with the youngsters development and remain committed to helping him fulfil his potential.His progress has been monitored carefully, and there is a belief that he can eventually establish himself as a key figure within the team if he continues to develop in the right environment.Despite that confidence, the possibility of a sale cannot be completely ruled out because of the financial advantages such a move could provide.Financial Considerations Could Influence DecisionAs an academy graduate, Nwaneri would generate pure profit for Arsenal if he were sold, given that the club did not pay a transfer fee to acquire him. This financial aspect could become a significant factor should a suitable offer arrive.According to the Metro, Smith believes Arsenal may be tempted to cash in on the youngster under the right circumstances. He said: As an academy product, its pure profit, isnt it? And he hasnt had much of a sniff at all and then went out on loan.I think as a manager, as a club, youre always a bit reluctant to let a talent like that go who youve nurtured, but with the financial regulations it could free up money to buy elsewhere.So well see on that. But the player himself might feel that he could do with a move if he feels the gaffer doesnt really have trust in him.While Arsenal value Nwaneris potential, the combination of limited first team opportunities and financial considerations could make his future a subject of discussion in the months ahead._____________________________________________________________________________________________ADMIN COMMENTSo here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow.You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.CALLING ALL ARSENAL FANS!

Brendan Sorsby is tentatively planning to work out for NFL teams before the supplemental draft following the quarterback's decision to end an unprecedented legal fight to retain his eligibility after he acknowledged impermissible bets while playing college football.Sorsby plans to hold his pro day July 10 at a Dallas-area high school, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Wednesday. That person spoke on condition of anonymity because the process for conducting the supplemental draft wasn't complete. The deadline for applying for the draft is Monday, but there were still procedural issues related to a Texas district court's temporary injunction that had cleared the way for him to play for Texas Tech this fall.Sorsby, who is from the Dallas area, would have to be ineligible from NCAA play to be able to apply for the NFL's supplemental draft. That rarely used draft would be completed at least a week before the start of the first training camp in late July.The temporary injunction issued June 8 by a Lubbock County court prevented the NCAA from blocking the quarterback's eligibility for what would have been his final college season. That would have to be dropped to make him ineligible again.The NCAA had declared Sorsby permanently ineligible after he admitted making thousands of bets worth at least $90,000 during his time at three different schools. His college career began at Indiana, before playing for Cincinnati the past two seasons and then transferring to reigning Big 12 Conference champion Texas Tech in January. Those bets included at least 40 bets on Indiana while he was a freshman there in 2022, though none on the game in which he played for the Hoosiers that season.___AP Pro Football Writer Schuyler Dixon contributed to this report.___AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/college-football
