Arsenal’s teenage prodigy set for valuable game time in Ligue 1.
Arsenal have officially confirmed that Ethan Nwaneri will join Olympique Marseille on loan until the end of the 2025/26 season. The 18-year-old attacking midfielder is set to gain more regular first-team experience in one of Europe’s top leagues.
“Our hugely talented 18-year-old has made 12 appearances in all competitions this season and will now get more valuable game time with the Ligue 1 side,” Arsenal stated in an official release.
A Hale End graduate, Nwaneri joined Arsenal at the age of eight and made history as the youngest player in Premier League history, debuting against Brentford in September 2022 at just 15 years and 181 days.
