Ethan Nwaneri’s loan deal at Marseille contains a clause stating the more he plays, the less Marseille must pay Arsenal, and right now, he is not getting much game time.
Nwaneri’s loan move to Marseille has been a disaster so far, and the winger does not seem to be in the plans of the new manager, Habib Beye.
Be honest: Was Ethan Nwaneri’s loan move to Marseille a mistake?
Roberto De Zerbi was the manager who signed Nwaneri; however, he was sacked, leaving the Arsenal youngster in limbo.
The Gunners will be due for a bigger loan payment if Nwaneri is not playing, although the North London club would rather he were getting more minutes.

Arsenal will be due a bigger payment from Ethan Nwaneri’s lack of minutes at Marseille, according to L’Equipe.
The 19-year-old has not made a single start for the French club in two months, and it just highlights how bad the move has been for him.
Beye has not been impressed by Nwaneri, and he has warned the Arsenal loanee that he must adapt to the intensity of Ligue 1.
The French paper cites that ‘persistent impression of nonchalance’ is one of the key factors behind his not starting under the new manager.

Many Arsenal fans are frustrated that Nwaneri did not stay at the club; however, his performances in France are proving why Mikel Arteta allowed him to leave.
In the summer, Arsenal could end up selling Nwaneri, with the likes of Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund showing an interest in the winger.
Arteta would not be a popular man were the North London club to end up selling one of Hale End’s brightest young talents.
Nwaneri’s demise has been truly shocking, and it would be totally unbelievable if the club were to allow him to leave.
