Ethan Nwaneri
OM
Departs Marseille
Nwaneri will leave Marseille when his loan spell ends, according to Anthony Aubes of La Provence.
Analysis: Nwaneri made limited appearances this season, recording two goals and one assist across 322 Ligue 1 minutes in a rotational role. Nwaneri joined from Arsenal on loan and struggled to nail down consistent playing time despite flashes of quality, and now returns to England ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
Serves as backup
Nwaneri has scored one goal in three starts across all competitions as he continues to play a limited role with the team.
Analysis: Following last season's breakout campaign of nine goals and two assists in 37 matches (15 starts), Nwaneri has taken on a smaller role for Arsenal this season, serving as an unused substitute in seven games and starting only three matches across all competitions, With one coming in the Champions League and two in the FA Cup. The 18-year-old Arsenal academy product remains behind Eberechi Eze and Martin Odegaard in the attacking midfield role and hasn't started on the right wing, with coach Mikel Arteta preferring Bukayo Saka, Noni Madueke, and Gabriel Martinelli in that spot. His only goal this season came in his recent FA Cup appearance against Brighton.
