Loan to Marquinhos terminated by Arsenal
Premier League powerhouse Arsenal will reportedly be bringing back Marquinhos from his January loan to French club Nantes. This news comes courtesy of Le Equipe. The youngster, who signed with the Gunners in 2022, has had two loan stints since then. He moved to Nantes last summer after spending the first half of the 2022–23 season on loan with Norwich City. The Brazilian’s move to France was a bust; he only played in seven games and contributed one assist.
