The French club Olympique Marseille announced today that it has signed young Arsenal midfielder Ethan Nwaneri on loan until the end of the current season, in a move aimed at strengthening the team's ranks during the second half of the season.

The French club explained in an official statement that the deal is only a loan, without any clause allowing for a permanent purchase option at the end of the season, meaning the player will return to his English club after the loan period ends.

Nwaneri will wear the number 11 jersey with Olympique Marseille, as the coaching staff relies on his technical abilities and his ability to add offensive solutions in the midfield, especially amidst the pressure of domestic and continental matches.

Nwaneri is considered one of the most prominent rising talents in Arsenal's ranks and has previously attracted attention despite his young age. The player hopes that this loan will give him the opportunity to gain more experience in the competitive atmosphere of the French league.
