What happened. Arsenal have decided to prioritize loan offers for Ethan Nwaneri, ruling out a permanent transfer this summer.
- Galatasaray showed interest after Gabriel Martinelli rejected their proposal.
- AC Milan enquired, but a deal with them is not considered likely.
- Nwaneri had a full pre-season but missed out on a prominent first-team role.
Nwaneri needs regular minutes, so a temporary stint is likely as Arsenal aim to keep him long-term.
