De Zerbi Backs Nwaneri to Be a Star After Scoring on Marseille Debut

Ethan Nwaneri made an instant impact on his Marseille debut, scoring after joining on loan from Arsenal.

The Gunners had already secured his long-term future with a new deal in the summer, and his new boss Roberto De Zerbi believes the teenager is destined for greatness.

Speaking after the match, De Zerbi was full of praise for the winger:

‘Ethan Nwaneri is so strong that he doesn’t need training! He will become a top player, I’m sure about that.’

The 18-year-old’s performance has further underlined Arsenal’s faith in him, with his loan spell in Ligue 1 seen as a crucial step in his development.
