  "textContent": "Nwaneri among those who could leave this summer (Picture: David Price/Arsenal FC via Getty Images)\n\nChelsea are unlikely to rekindle their interest in Ethan Nwaneri if Arsenal decide to sell their young star this summer.\n\nNwaneri broke into Mikel Arteta’s first-team squad aged just 15 back in 2022 but struggled to make his mark during the Gunners’ Premier League-winning title campaign last term.\n\nFollowing the signings of Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze, the 19-year-old failed to start a league game last season, limited to 165 minutes across six appearances as a substitute.\n\nIn January, he left north London to join Marseille on loan, initially linking up with Roberto De Zerbi who was eager to have him part of his squad. De Zerbi left the club to take over at Tottenham, however, with Nwaneri struggling to deliver an impact for the rest of the campaign.\n\n##  Don't miss a World Cup moment\n\nLionel Messi’s hat-trick. Cape Verde’s heroics. Those Scottish fans.\n\nIt’s been a memorable World Cup so far – our daily newsletter helps you make the most of it. Sign up.\n\nArsenal plan to bolster their squad off the back of their first league title in 22 years with Arteta hoping to bring in three or four major signings.\n\nBut the Gunners may need to cash in on current members of the squad to raise funds. Gabriel Martinelli, Ben White, Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Jesus are among those reportedly up for sale with Nwaneri another who could be moved on.\n\nNwaneri signed a new long-term deal at Arsenal last summer but before that, Chelsea made an enquiry during talks over Madueke’s move across the capital. \n\nNwaneri had a frustrating spell at Marseille (Picture: Getty)\n\nThe Blues were also among the clubs interested in snatching Nwaneri from Arsenal before he signed his first professional contract with the club aged 17.\n\nWhile Nwaneri is available this summer, the Daily Mail report Chelsea have no plans to rekindle their interest as it stands.\n\nNwaneri struggled for minutes at Arsenal last season (Picture: Getty0\n\nWhile Chelsea may not be the destination, Nwaneri could still be on the move with former Arsenal star suggesting there is evidence Arteta simply does not trust him.\n\n‘I think as a manager, as a club, you’re always a bit reluctant to let a talent like that go who you’ve nurtured, but with the financial regulations it could free up money to buy elsewhere,’ Smith said.\n\n‘So we’ll see on that. But the player himself might feel that he could do with a move if he feels the gaffer doesn’t really have trust in him.’\n\nComment now Comments \nAdd Metro as a Preferred Source on Google\nAdd as preferred source\n",
