Etan Nwaneri to return to Arsenal
Nwaneri will return to his parent club at the end of the season, but it will be interesting to see if he is given the chance to maintain his starting position at Arsenal next season.
“So it wasn’t what we expected from Nwaneri, but I can guarantee you that Arsenal maintain full confidence in the player at this point,” Romano said on YouTube.
“So Arsenal are waiting for him to finish the season in the last 10, 11 games at Olympique de Marseille and then return to the club and come back to Arsenal. They believe in Nwaneri 100%.”
“So the message from Arsenal remains optimistic. In the summer they will speak to the player to understand what is the best situation for him, whether he stays at Arsenal or goes on loan somewhere else.”
“So they will evaluate all options for the player. However, Arsenal maintain full confidence in Ethan.”
Nwaneri has elite talent.
The 18-year-old is a great talent with a bright future ahead of him and needs to play regularly to continue his development. Sitting on the bench at Arsenal won’t do him any favors. If they can’t provide him with regular minutes, they should consider letting him go on loan. He is a promising young player with a bright future and regular football will help him reach his full potential.
The loan period will allow you to continue to grow with regular opportunities. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop.
