Fabrizio Romano reported interest from Crystal Palace in Arsenal's English midfielder Ethan Nwaneri, who has also attracted attention from AFC Bournemouth and Italian clubs. According to 'The Athletic', Olympique Marseille is actively pursuing a loan for the 18-year-old until the end of the season.
The French club's head coach, Roberto De Zerbi, has reportedly had positive discussions with both the player's side and Arsenal's coach Mikel Arteta. 'The Athletic' also mentioned that Arsenal would only consider a loan without an option to buy, with a proposed loan fee of three million euros. A decision from the offensive midfielder is expected shortly. Nwaneri has 13 caps and 3 goals for England U21, has made 6 Premier League appearances this season, and his contract with Arsenal runs until 2030. His current market value is €40.00m, according to Transfermarkt. In May 2025, reports suggested Arsenal valued the player at €80-100 million.
