No Recall Clause Leaves Arsenal Unable To Bring Back Ethan Nwaneri From Marseille

With his loan running through this season, the club is pursuing short-term midfield cover after Mikel Merino’s foot surgery.

Overview

  • The 18-year-old joined Marseille in January and was officially presented on February 2 to complete a season-long move.
  • Multiple reports say the agreement contains no break clause, and there is no option for Marseille to buy.
  • Nwaneri has made early strides in Ligue 1, scoring 13 minutes into his debut against Lens before a second outing versus Paris FC.
  • He told reporters “anything is possible” regarding his long-term path, while Arsenal emphasize the loan is for development under Roberto De Zerbi.
  • Following Merino’s long layoff, Arsenal explored late-window reinforcements, with links to Sandro Tonali played down and no deal concluded.
