Scores dream goal in debut Nwaneri scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-1 win against Lens.

Impact Nwaneri scored in the 13rd minute on his Marseille debut, curling a finish into the bottom corner after collecting the ball in midfield and driving forward through half of the pitch. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg provided the assist, finding him early as Marseille broke Lens' midfield shape, with the Danish midfielder playing a key role in the move. The goal gave Marseille a two-goal lead and complete control of the match flow. Nwaneri is expected to secure a starting role in OM's frontline and could take some set pieces depending on the match context and the players on the pitch.

Serves as backup Nwaneri has scored one goal in three starts across all competitions as he continues to play a limited role with the team.

Impact Following last season's breakout campaign of nine goals and two assists in 37 matches (15 starts), Nwaneri has taken on a smaller role for Arsenal this season, serving as an unused substitute in seven games and starting only three matches across all competitions, With one coming in the Champions League and two in the FA Cup. The 18-year-old Arsenal academy product remains behind Eberechi Eze and Martin Odegaard in the attacking midfield role and hasn't started on the right wing, with coach Mikel Arteta preferring Bukayo Saka, Noni Madueke, and Gabriel Martinelli in that spot. His only goal this season came in his recent FA Cup appearance against Brighton.

Signs new Arsenal contract Nwaneri has signed a new five-year contract with Arsenal until the end of the 2029/30 campaign, the club announced Friday.

Impact Nwaneri enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2024/25 as a youngster, as he scored four times and added a pair of assists in 26 appearances (11 starts) in the Premier League. While he's not expected to be a regular starter, he should see plenty of minutes as a backup option who can play all over the attacking third.
