Arsenal's Nwaneri joins Dortmund on loan on deadline day
BERLIN: Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday announced the deadline-day signing of Arsenal attacker Ethan Nwaneri on a season-long loan.
Borussia Dortmund confirmed on Tuesday that they have signed Arsenal attacker Ethan Nwaneri on a season-long loan deal, just before the transfer window closed. The 19-year-old English footballer, who spent the second half of last season on loan at French club Marseille, will act as a cover for the injured Giannis Konstantelias. Dortmund sporting director Lars Ricken hailed Nwaneri as the best possible sporting solution following Konstantelias' injury.
Konstantelias, who joined Dortmund in August and made his Bundesliga debut on Saturday, suffered a serious knee injury minutes after scoring. Ricken expressed his delight at securing such a talented and technically gifted midfielder in Nwaneri, stating that the deal was finalized just in time. Nwaneri has already scored 10 goals and provided two assists in 51 matches for Arsenal, alongside scoring twice in 11 games for Marseille during the previous season.
