Ethan Nwaneri and Arsenal, it’s almost over. Loaned last January to Marseille, where he had performed poorly (only 11 matches, 2 goals), the 19-year-old attacking midfielder should leave the Gunners by the end of the transfer window. This is what Fabrizio Romano confirms, ahead of the Community Shield between Arsenal and Man City, where Nwaneri does not even appear on the bench.
The reigning champions begin the season with Noni Madueke and rookie Christos Tzolis supporting Kai Havertz. On the bench, Mikel Arteta has no shortage of options with Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze, Viktor Gyokeres and prodigy Max Dowman. The competition is tough for Nwaneri, as well as for Gabriel Jesus, who is also absent from the scoresheet.
