Ethan Nwaneri joins Marseille on loan for the rest of the 2025/26 season — a deliberate push into pressure, not a gentle timeout.

This isn’t a sale or a safety-net loan: it’s a test modeled on the Saliba pathway. The aim is clear — come back sharper and ready to fight for a place; struggle and Arsenal will reassess. Discomfort is t...

On his 100th Arsenal appearance against Crystal Palace, Gabriel Jesus finally gets his milestone after a long recovery from an ACL rupture. Short cameos since his return have shown the sharp, inventive forward who links play, teases defenders and can change games — a reminder of the five-goal burst that reignited his season last year.
