Arsenal Set to Loan Ethan Nwaneri to Marseille on Deal Without Buy Option

Arsenal cite development under Roberto De Zerbi, protecting their long-term stake through a no‑purchase structure.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report a loan agreement to June with an appearance‑linked fee and Marseille covering wages, pending the player's medical and paperwork.
  • No purchase option is included in the deal as Arsenal maintain control over a prospect who signed a long-term contract in the summer.
  • Mikel Arteta said Nwaneri has not had the minutes he deserves and confirmed the club will choose the pathway that best serves his progress.
  • Roberto De Zerbi held positive talks with Arteta and the player, with Marseille’s style cited as conducive to regular first‑team exposure.
  • Competition from senior attackers has limited Nwaneri to 12 outings and 0 Premier League starts this season after the arrivals of Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke.
