Overview
- Multiple reports on Friday say Arsenal are prepared to consider offers for 19‑year‑old Ethan Nwaneri following his return from a loan at Marseille.
- Serie A side Como have made formal enquiries and could pitch regular European minutes to lure Nwaneri after Nico Paz is expected to depart the club.
- Premier League clubs including Newcastle, Aston Villa and Everton are reported to be tracking him while Borussia Dortmund remain interested from Germany.
- Nwaneri's second‑half 2025/26 loan at Marseille yielded nine Ligue 1 appearances with three starts and attracted public criticism of his attitude, which has dented his immediate stock.
- Arsenal have not told the player he can leave and will reassess his future after the season, with his long contract giving the club leverage in any loan or permanent move and the decision likely to hinge on guaranteed playing time and development opportunities.
