"Chelsea are understood to be on alert for the possible transfer of Arsenal attacking midfielder Ethan Nwaneri as his situation at the Emirates Stadium as changed. The highly-rated 19-year-old was not initially loaned out to Marseille to be put in the shop window, but Arsenal could now be open to letting him go for the right price this summer, as first reported here for the Daily Briefing."
"Chelsea are one of the clubs with a long term appreciation of Nwaneri, and they could revisit this deal if he does indeed end up moving on from Arsenal at the end of this campaign. For now, it's not clear that Nwaneri himself is pushing to leave, but there may perhaps be concerns with his development after murmurings of attitude problems at Marseille training."
"As well as Chelsea, sources have named Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, and AC Milan as clubs keeping an eye on Nwaneri's situation, while at least three other Premier League teams are also monitoring developments. Meanwhile, Arsenal could be tempted to cash in on Nwaneri for around 35-40m, with the sale to count as pure profit' from a PSR perspective due to the fact that the England Under-21 international came up through the Gunners' academy."
"Nwaneri is struggling right now and that means Arsenal are going to have to consider a sale, one source said. Things can change quickly, but he clearly isn't progressing as expected, and they'll feel they can get a decent fee for him. Want more CaughtOffside coverage?

Chelsea are keeping an eye on Ethan Nwaneri’s changing situation at Arsenal and may revisit a potential move if he departs this summer. Nwaneri, a highly rated 19-year-old attacking midfielder, was not initially loaned to Marseille to attract interest, but Arsenal could now consider selling for the right price. Chelsea, along with Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, and AC Milan, are reportedly watching his availability. At least three other Premier League clubs are also monitoring developments. Arsenal may be tempted to cash in around £35–40m, which could count as pure profit for PSR purposes due to his academy background. Concerns about his development and reported attitude issues during Marseille training are mentioned, though it is unclear whether he wants to leave.
