'To the Sharks': Arteta Tells Nwaneri to Sink or Swim at Marseille
Ethan Nwaneri joins Marseille on loan to gain first-team experience after limited playtime at Arsenal, with Marseille currently third in Ligue 1, manager Arteta said.
- On January 23, 2026, Arsenal announced Ethan Nwaneri joined Olympique Marseille on loan until the end of the 2025-26 season.
- After struggling for starts this season, Ethan Nwaneri made 12 appearances without starting and missed the last four Premier League matchday squads, leading Arsenal and his father and agent to agree on a loan for regular minutes.
- Mikel Arteta said `The talented young players that we have need minutes, and Ethan wasn't getting enough minutes`, citing William Saliba's Marseille loan and sources say there is no obligation to make the move permanent.
- Marseille, third in Ligue 1 and eight points behind Lens while in a Champions League play-off spot, gain a promising option as Arsenal remain seven points clear at the top.
- Ethan Nwaneri, who became the Premier League youngest-ever player in 2022, scored nine goals in 2024-25 and joins the twin brother of a current teammate on loan to boost Arsenal long-term development plans.
