Arsenal hold positive talks with Ligue 1 club for the transfer of talented English star

Marseille are reportedly on the verge of securing a loan deal for highly rated Arsenal winger Ethan Nwaneri, with negotiations progressing rapidly, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic.

The move would see the 18-year-old spend the remainder of the season in Ligue 1, a step that both Arsenal and the player believe is necessary for his development.

Nwaneri, long considered one of the brightest talents in English football, has seen his progress stall this season due to limited playing time.
