Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta (Picture: Getty) Arsenal are planning to offload Ethan Nwaneri before the summer transfer window closes after he was left out of the Community Shield against Manchester City. Nwaneri has been linked with another move away from Arsenal this summer after spending the second-half of last season on loan at Marseille. The 19-year-old is one of the most highly-rated players in Europe despite a disappointing 2025-26 campaign. The midfielder became the youngest player to ever feature in the Premier League when he made his debut for Arsenal in 2022, and established himself as a regular member of Mikel Arteta’s first-team squad during the 2024-25 season. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. Nwaneri made 37 appearances for his boyhood club that term and was nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year award while being rewarded with a new long-term contract. The 19-year-old was expected to continue to contribute last season but only featured in six league games before being sent on loan to Marseille in January. Arsenal bosses were confident he would develop in France but Nwaneri only made nine appearances during an underwhelming loan before returning to the Premier League champions. Ethan Nwaneri looks set to leave Arsenal (Picture: Getty) Despite failing to make an impact for Marseille, Arteta insisted Nwaneri would benefit from his time away from Arsenal and returned ‘looking like a different man’. ‘On the pitch, he didn’t [work] because a lot happened in Marseille,’ Arteta said after Arsenal beat Girona 4-1 in their first pre-season friendly. ‘But when you just stand in front of him, you sense the maturity and he looks like a different man. Arteta ahead of Arsenal’s Community Shield clash (Picture: Getty) ‘The experience on paper, it wasn’t ideal but I think he went through something that is going to help him a lot in his career.’ Speaking on Friday before the Community Shield, Arteta admitted Nwaneri could still leave Arsenal before the transfer deadline. ‘I want him to be at the club. But we have to think about the medium and long term,’ Arteta said. Nwaneri was left out of the Community Shield (Picture: Getty) ‘What is best for the player? Ethan needs to play football. If he stays here, we must be able to guarantee him those minutes, otherwise it won’t be beneficial for either side.’ Nwaneri has attracted interest from Galatasaray, Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan in recent weeks and Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Arsenal plan to offload him after he was left out of the Community Shield. It is not clear whether Arsenal will sanction another loan move for the teenager or sell him in a possible deal with a buy-back option. While Nwaneri was left out of the Premier League curtain-raiser in Cardiff, summer signings Bruno Guimaraes and Christos Tzolis were both handed their Arsenal debuts by Arteta. ‘Christos [Tzolis] came early so that always helps,’ Arteta said. ‘Bruno [Guimaraes] only joined us last week, but he’s in good condition and we know what he will bring to the team. ‘He is a ball of energy. He has an unbelievable desire to win every ball. You sense he will drive the dressing room and when you bring someone with that competitive nature, it will only drive the boys.’ Asked about Arsenal’s plan to retain the Premier League trophy, Arteta added: ‘It’s very difficult, that’s why we haven’t done it in this football club. You have to raise the level from every angle.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

The match referee tasked with officiating the 2026 Community Shield is Samuel Barrott.

Since then, he has overseen several high-profile matches involving both Man City and Arsenal across top-flight English soccer and domestic cup competitions. When overseeing the Citizens, Barrott has officiated six matches, including four in the Premier League, one in the Carabao Cup, and one in the FA Cup. His most recent Man City fixture was an FA Cup round of 16 clash against Newcastle United, which ended in a 3-1 victory for Pep Guardiola’s side. In those six matches under Barrott, Man City hold a 4-2 record while outscoring opponents 16-6. Arsenal hold an even stronger mark under Barrott’s whistle, boasting nine wins and just one defeat across 10 matches. However, that single loss came in a major fixture, the 2025-26 FA Cup quarterfinal, where second-tier Southampton eliminated the Gunners 2-1. His most recent Arsenal match was a Premier League tilt that ended in a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United.

Uncertainty about the club’s future was matched by some on the pitch in 1-1 draw with Notts CountyIf Leicester thought this season was going to be the footballing equivalent of a gap year, visiting new places and learning some life lessons before returning home, then they were mistaken. Being outfought and outperformed by Notts County, a well-organised and energetic team promoted from the fourth tier, brought the harsh reality of life to the fore on Saturday.Russell Martin’s desire to play out from the back provided the fragile foundation of a dispiriting performance for a team tipped to storm back up. Ollie Cooper charging down the ponderous Alex McCarthy before seeing the ball bounce back off the crossbar welcomed Leicester to League One within six minutes. McCarthy or the confused centre-back pairing of Caleb Okoli and Harry Souttar repeatedly gave the ball away in and around the penalty area as the team created their own problems. Things went so badly that a compilation of their slapstick defending quickly gained traction on social media. Continue reading...
