Ethan Nwaneri has officially been unveiled as a new Marseille player following his loan move from Arsenal.
The teenager struggled for game time at the Emirates Stadium in the first half of the season. He was even out of the matchday squad on a few occasions.
A loan move made perfect sense in the winter window, and Mikel Arteta convinced Nwaneri to join Marseille until the end of the season.
The official announcement was made on Friday, and the Arsenal academy graduate took part in his first training session under Roberto De Zerbi.
During a shooting drill, Nwaneri scored a fabulous goal, and that has impressed Marseille fans. Watch his strike and tell us what you think in the TalkingPoint below.

Ethan Nwaneri could become a star at Marseille
Nobody in the world can question Nwaneri’s talent and ability.
The teenager has showcased his magic at Arsenal over the last 18 months and even scored a stunner against Manchester City in a 5-1 win.
The quality of opposition in the Ligue 1 will be inferior to that of the Premier League, so Nwaneri could score a few more goals like that one.
De Zerbi has shown over the years that he can develop young talent.
If he gets it right with the Arsenal youngster, he will come back a much better player in the summer.
