Marseille is very close to securing the loan of Ethan Nwaneri, a young Arsenal prospect, after successfully convincing the player to move to France. The French club made decisive progress in the last few hours and presented a sports project that pleased the English player who was linked to Sporting last summer.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the French club outbid several European clubs, leveraging its strong focus on youth and the prospect of regular playing time in the first team. The footballer views the possibility of taking a new step in his career positively before definitively establishing himself with the 'Gunners'.

It should be noted that the name of the young English international had already been associated with the Alvalade Club. The Lions were reportedly attentive to the player's situation at a time when Viktor Gyokeres was being linked to the club managed by Mikel Arteta, although no formal approach was ever known.

At the time, Ethan Nwaneri posted a photo wearing the Lions' jersey. On social media, several comments from fans of the green and white emblem emerged, questioning whether the English U21 international was in possible talks with the SAD led by Frederico Varandas about a possible loan in the Swedish international's deal (See HERE).

The 18-year-old forward, considered one of Arsenal's greatest prospects, became the youngest ever to play in the Premier League in 2022, at just 15 years and 181 days. Moreover, Mikel Arteta's protégé follows João Simões and Geovany Quenda on Instagram.
