There was so much that caught the eye from the footage that emerged of the Arsenal watch party at London Colney on the night Manchester City’s draw with Bournemouth handed them their first Premier League title in 22 years.William Saliba’s panicked cries of “4-4-2, guys!” as Bournemouth tried to defend a 1-0 lead. Viktor Gyokeres’ haunted eyes as Erling Haaland netted a late equaliser. Andrea Berta’s crowdsurfing at full time.One person conspicuous by his absence, though, was Ethan Nwaneri.The 19-year-old was back in London after a difficult loan spell with Marseille, but away from the celebrations at London Colney. It feels symbolic of what’s been a tricky few months.It seems strange to think now, but the move to Marseille started pretty well. Nwaneri had arrived in France with the blessing of Arteta, who highlighted the chance to work under Roberto De Zerbi as an incredible opportunity. De Zerbi in turn promised Nwaneri was going to become a “top player” after he scored on his debut in Ligue 1 against Lens, and handed him his first consecutive league starts in eight months.What followed was a mix of misfortune and farce.Marseille were eliminated from the Champions League by a 98th-minute header from Benfica goalkeeper Anantoliy Trubin and suffered their biggest margin of defeat to PSG in their next game, prompting De Zerbi to leave just 19 days after Nwaneri’s arrival.The club then went through a period of boardroom turmoil, churning through two presidents and a sporting director in less than five months. On the pitch, De Zerbi’s replacement, Habib Beye, seemed not to fancy Nwaneri despite the teenager’s game-winning assist in Beye’s first game in charge.After blazing over the decisive penalty in a Coupe de France quarter-final loss to Toulouse in March, the teenager would start just one of Marseille’s final 10 Ligue 1 matches, with Beye claiming that “other players gave way more”.
