"The England Under-21 international has made just 12 appearances for the Gunners in all competitions, starting four games but none in the Premier League, and has scored once this season in the Carabao Cup. Nwaneri signed a new contract in the summer until 2030, but has found his route into the first team challenged by the signings of Noni Madueke for 48.5m and Eberechi Eze for 67m."
"Last season, Nwaneri played mostly on the right wing and scored nine goals in 37 appearances in all competitions to mark himself out as one of England's most talented young players. But with Madueke the first choice as back up to Bukayo Saka and Eze the number 10 to challenge captain Martin Odegaard, the two positions Nwaneri would fit into have become harder to get."
"Nwaneri's taste of regular minutes last season has raised his expectations and having to fight for game time at a club like Arsenal has not surprised him, but with two England internationals ahead of him, regular minutes have been hard to come by. Eze himself has struggled to break into the Arsenal starting XI in recent weeks and has played 23 minutes in the Gunners last six Premier League games. He has been an unused substitute in four of those matches."
French club Marseille are in talks to sign Arsenal midfielder Ethan Nwaneri on loan for the rest of the season, with discussions ongoing including a loan fee. The 18-year-old England Under-21 international has made 12 appearances for Arsenal this season, starting four games and scoring once in the Carabao Cup. Nwaneri signed a new contract until 2030 but faces competition from summer signings Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze. Last season he scored nine goals in 37 appearances, primarily on the right wing. Regular first-team minutes at Arsenal have been hard to secure, making a move abroad appealing.
