A winning move. In a very chilly winter transfer window, two gems from two major European clubs landed in Ligue 1 somewhat to everyone’s surprise. These are the Brazilian international from Real Madrid Endrick (19 years old) and the English international hopeful from Arsenal Ethan Nwaneri (18 years old). The two prodigies were loaned for 6 months (without purchase option) to the two Olympics of the French Championship. The first in Lyon and the second in Marseille. And the two started their adventure in France with a bang.
Endrick already has four goals in three matches in all competitions including a hat-trick on Sunday afternoon in Metz (2-5) for the 19th day. Twenty-four hours earlier, Ethan Nwaneri had lit up the Vélodrome stadium for his first match in the Olympian jersey, marked in particular by a superb individual action concluded by a victorious left curling shot, during the summit match between the two runners-up (Lens and Marseille) of PSG.
