Arsenal wonderkid Ethan Nwaneri off to France

Arsenal wonderkid Ethan Nwaneri has agreed to join Marseille on a short-term loan until the end of the campaign, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Englishman had a tremendous breakout season with the Gunners last season, scoring nine goals from almost 40 appearances in all competitions.

However, he has struggled for regular game time this campaign after the arrivals of Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke from Crystal Palace and Chelsea.

Nwaneri has found himself as a regular unused substitute and he has also been left out of matchday squads due to the fierce competition for places.

Arsenal are prepared to loan him out for the season as a result and Romano reports that the attacker has agreed to make the switch to Les Phoceens.

Marseille manager Roberto De Zerbi is a huge admirer of the Gunners graduate and he has already spoken with Gunners boss Mikel Arteta.

Nwaneri is widely expected to secure a starting berth at the Ligue 1 outfit, thereby aiding his development for the remainder of the campaign.
