Habib Beye has challenged Ethan Nwaneri to improve his day-to-day commitment at Olympique Marseille, warning that reputation alone will not guarantee him a starting place.

Despite Marseille’s injury problems, the Arsenal loanee was left on the bench against OGC Nice as Beye preferred players showing more intensity in training.

The Marseille boss said the 19-year-old’s absence from the starting XI was directly linked to his performances during the week. 

"He’s a quality player, but he has to give us way more in his day-to-day commitment. Other players gave way more," said Beye.

With the season entering a crucial stage, Beye insists only players showing the right desire and consistency will earn regular opportunities in his side.
