Since arriving in France, Ethan Nwaneri has settled quickly into life in Ligue 1. He has earned consistent playing time and made an instant impact by scoring on his debut for the club, further boosting his growing reputation.
While discussing former Marseille players Taye Taiwo and Wilson Oruma, both of whom represented Nigeria at international level, the teenager did not shy away from acknowledging his heritage.
“Yes, I know. I’m Nigerian, and I am here to help the team as much as possible,” Nwaneri told R.org.
The comment has sparked fresh speculation around his international future. Although Nwaneri has represented England at youth level, he is yet to receive a senior call-up from the Three Lions.
With Nigeria closely monitoring talented players abroad, his recent statement has shifted attention toward the Super Eagles, who could yet convince the promising midfielder to commit his international future to his country of origin.
For now, Nwaneri remains focused on his development at Marseille, but his words have ensured that discussions around his international allegiance are far from over.
