Robert Pires insists he’s not worried about Ethan Arsenal legend Robert Pires has dismissed concerns regarding Ethan Nwaneri’s loan spell at Marseille following a managerial change, insisting the teenager will thrive under new head coach Habib Beye.
Robert Pires has voiced strong support for Arsenal loanee Ethan Nwaneri following the departure of Roberto De Zerbi from Marseille.
Despite the managerial upheaval, Pires believes the 18-year-old’s technical quality remains undeniable.
“The English aren’t afraid of anything,” Pires stated, noting that new boss Habib Beye’s English proficiency and playing experience in the Premier League will facilitate a smooth transition for the youngster.
Nwaneri recently made a substitute appearance in Beye’s first game, signaling a potential shift in momentum after being sidelined during a brief interim period.
Under the terms of the deal, Marseille’s loan fee could rise to €4m if Nwaneri lacks regular minutes.
Pires remains optimistic about the partnership, remarking, “Over the last three months, Habib Beye can bring him something – and vice versa.”
