‘Maybe it’s the best thing that can happen’ – Arteta responds to criticism of Arsenal youngster | OneFootball

Mikel Arteta has urged youngster Ethan Nwaneri to use the recent criticism of him from his manager at Marseille in the right way.

Nwaneri joined the Ligue 1 side on loan in January until the end of the season, but has found game time difficult to come by of late.

Asked about why he was not brought off the bench last week, Marseille boss Habib Beye responded: “He’s a quality player, but he has to give us way more in his day-to-day commitment. Other players gave way more.”

“I think that’s the coach’s opinion,” Arteta said when asked for a response. “He’s with them every single day qnd that’s it. He’s the one making the decision, he’s the one that sees and understands better what he’s doing, and Ethan has to respond to that in the right way. 

“It’s the same place that William Saliba was there. Same club. And the outcome, let’s see. Maybe it’s the best thing that can happen for Ethan, for his career. Maybe, we don’t know.”
