Overview
- Ethan Nwaneri stayed on the bench in Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Nice as Habib Beye told L1+ the 19-year-old must show far better day-to-day commitment.
- Nwaneri has two goals and one assist in 11 appearances for Marseille, totaling about 412 minutes with four starts, and he has not started under Beye since February.
- His reduced role followed Roberto De Zerbi’s departure and Beye’s appointment, with reports noting he has slipped down the pecking order.
- The decision came even with injuries to Hamed Traoré, Igor Paixão and Amine Gouiri, as Beye said other players trained with more intensity.
- Several outlets report a clause that increases Marseille’s cost the fewer minutes he plays, and Arsenal are watching closely with only three games left and summer choices looming.
