Mikel Arteta said throwing Ethan Nwaneri in with the ‘sharks’ on loan at Marseille will do wonders for his development — and hinted other youngsters could follow suit in future. That has seen £67.5million signing Eberechi Eze have to contend with largely being on the bench for Premier League matches. And the last thing that we want is to cut his development because he's such a talent and loves and breathes football. And I think it fits the way of playing for the qualities that we want to see for Ethan. But one day you have to go, pack your bags, this is the flight tickets and you have to go to Marseille.
