Schwarz also spoke highly of another Arsenal player, Declan Rice, praising his skills and qualities as a player and a leader. He noted that Rice is a versatile player who can play in different positions and is known for his work rate and ethic.

Despite interest from other clubs, including Chelsea, Napoli are reportedly the front-runners to sign Mainoo. Napoli has had success with former Manchester United players Rasmus Hojlund and Scott McTominay, and Mainoo could be the next player to make a name for himself at the Italian club.

Arsenal has a history of promoting young players to the first team, and Mainoo could be the next player to follow in the footsteps of players like Miles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri. With a talented squad and a strong team ethos, Arsenal could be the perfect place for Mainoo to develop his skills and become a top player.
