Sports2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported1m ago
Arsenal midfielder Ethan Nwaneri has joined Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund on a loan deal. The transfer marks the 19-year-old's second consecutive loan spell, following a six-month stint at Marseille during the 2025-26 season where he made nine Ligue 1 appearances and scored two goals before returning to Arsenal in June.
To protect their long-term interests in the highly rated prospect, Arsenal blocked a purchase option in the agreement with Dortmund and secured an unconditional recall clause for January. The move is designed to provide the England Under-21 international with regular playing time after he featured in several matches for Arsenal following his return from France.
