Ethan Nwaneri Impresses with Goal on Marseille Debut

Ethan Nwaneri made an impressive start to his loan spell at Marseille by scoring in his debut match just 13 minutes after the kickoff. The young player joined the French club from Arsenal in search of more playing time, having found limited opportunities in London so far this season, with only 12 appearances.

Nwaneri’s Debut Performance

Saturday’s match saw Marseille face Lens at the Stade Vélodrome, and it was the perfect occasion for Nwaneri to showcase his skills. After his team took an early lead, Nwaneri received the ball just past the halfway line. He skillfully maneuvered forward, cutting past a defender and directing a low shot into the corner of the net.

Last Season’s Context

Last season, the midfielder participated in 37 games under coach Mikel Arteta; however, his chances diminished as Arsenal acquired more seasoned attacking players like Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze. The move to Marseille is intended to provide him with the playing time he needs to develop further.

Additional Notes

• Nwaneri officially joined Marseille on a season-long loan.
• He holds the record for being the youngest player to ever appear in the Premier League, making his initial debut at just 15 years and 181 days old.

This loan period with Marseille will last until the conclusion of the current season, offering him the chance to gain valuable experience on the pitch.
