According to BBC Sport, Ethan Nwaneri's future in London is very uncertain. The club's management reportedly views his sale favorably, as it would be profitable since he was trained at the club. The Athletic also reports that he could be considered a player to sell. A price has not yet been revealed, but the player's market value is estimated at 35 million euros by Transfermarkt. It is likely he will leave for less money after his season.

According to TEAMtalk, Como are interested in Arsenal youngster Ethan Nwaneri. Nwaneri has significant game time concerns. The teenager recently completed a disappointing six-month loan at Marseille, during which he was heavily criticised for his performances and attitude by coach Habib Beye and the French press. Arsenal still rate Nwaneri highly. The player is said to have concerns over his Gunners future. He struggled for minutes in the first half of the season, and Arsenal's plans to strengthen their side this summer will only diminish his prospects of game time further.

Sources have told TEAMtalk that Cesc Fabregas’ Como are among the clubs pushing hardest to sign Ethan Nwaneri this summer, and sources indicate they have made checks on the player. TEAMtalk understands that Como will use the prospect of Champions League football to try and sign Nwaneri. The club would reportedly be open to discussing a variety of deal structures, including a loan with an option to buy or a permanent transfer. TEAMtalk also understands that Nwaneri is viewed internally as a potential replacement for Nico Paz, whose departure is expected.

Ethan Nwaneri, an 18-year-old English midfielder, is expected to leave Arsenal on loan following an agreement with Mikel Arteta that a temporary move would be beneficial for the player's development. Cesc Fabregas, described as an Arsenal legend, would be receptive to Nwaneri joining Como, and Marseille are also understood to have a strong interest in the player. Fabrizio Romano reports that Nwaneri has accepted a loan move to Marseille which would not include an option to buy, although the deal is not yet finalized. Discussions are ongoing with all interested parties. It is reported that these parties include at least six Premier League clubs that have made enquiries. Nwaneri has made six Premier League appearances in the 25/26 season so far. The England U21 international has 13 caps and 3 goals. He has a contract with Arsenal until 2030 and a market value of €40.00m, according to Transfermarkt. It was reported that in January 2026, Olympique Marseille made an offer for a six-month loan with a fee of more than €3 million. Additionally, reports in May 2025 claimed that Arsenal's valuation of the player was between €80 million and €100 million.
