Interest is building in Arsenal winger Ethan Nwaneri who is considering his options and whether to depart this window.
A number of clubs, including RB Leipzig and other Premier League sides, have been looking to take the 19-year-old on loan or potentially a permanent basis after his disappointing spell with Marseille last season.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta praised the England U21 international after his return to pre-season training, saying: ‘Ethan has been really good, probably what happened on the field on his loan in Marseille wasn’t what was expected, and there was a lot of noise and change around the club.
‘But he looks different, a lot more mature, it’s incredible what six months and a different experience abroad can do to you - to be abroad on your own, to go through tough times and to witness that is a part of football you have to be good enough to cope with. I’m very happy with what Ethan has done in pre-season.’
Nwaneri joined Arsenal's academy aged eight and made his Premier League debut against Brentford in September 2022, becoming the youngest player to appear in the English top flight, at 15 years and 181 days old.
He has made 34 appearances for Arsenal and though only made nine appearances at Marseille, still managed to score two goals.
