Marseille are not the only side to have expressed interest in Nwaneri, with the teenage forward attracting admiring glances from across Europe. Several clubs are said to have asked about a permanent transfer, which “Arsenal will not allow”.
The Gunners are intrigued by the proposal tabled by Marseille, as a deal there stands to benefit all parties. It is said that “head coach Roberto De Zerbi has held positive talks with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and Nwaneri”. The Athletic adds that “the Italian and his style of play are a prominent factor in the Ligue 1 side being favoured by their Premier League counterparts”.
