Dortmund sign Arsenal’s Nwaneri on season-long loan
Ethan Nwaneri, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Ligue 1 side Marseille, joins Borussia Dortmund as cover for the injured Giannis Konstantelias.
Borussia Dortmund secured the signing of Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri on a season-long loan deal on a deadline day. The 19-year-old forward, who netted 10 goals and provided two assists in 51 appearances for Arsenal, is set to bolster Dortmund's midfield while covering for the injured Giannis Konstantelias. Nwaneri spent the latter part of the previous season on loan at Ligue 1 side Marseille.
Dortmund's sporting director Lars Ricken described Nwaneri as the best possible sporting solution after Konstantelias' injury, praising the English teenager for his talent and technical skills. Konstantelias, who joined Dortmund in August, made an impressive Bundesliga debut but suffered a serious knee injury minutes after scoring.
Ricken expressed delight in finalizing the deal just before the transfer window closed, stating that Nwaneri brings a very talented and technically gifted midfielder to the club.
