All sorted with Ethan Nwaneri – BVB land Arsenal talent | OneFootball

While it still looked like a rather relaxed deadline day for Borussia Dortmund last week, the cruciate ligament tear suffered by Giannis Konstantelias over the weekend has changed quite a bit. BVB could now even unveil two new signings shortly before the transfer window closes. That is especially likely if there is also another departure, with Fabio Silva being considered a leading candidate.

Deadline Day at BVB begins with reports of an imminent deal. After the trail leading to Polish U21 international Marcel Regula (Zaglebie Lubin) had already become very concrete on Monday evening, Borussia have apparently also made a breakthrough in talks with Arsenal and Ethan Nwaneri.

As transfer insider Fabrizio Romano reports, Borussia have reached a verbal agreement with Arsenal over a one-year loan for the 19-year-old. And Nwaneri himself, who had reportedly also been considering other options beforehand, gave the green light overnight for the move to Dortmund, which will run until the end of the season and is not expected to include an option to buy. Nothing is known so far about a loan fee, but BVB are said to be taking on Nwaneri’s full salary.

Medical as the final hurdle

Before the deal can be officially announced, only the medical examination remains, which is scheduled to take place during Deadline Day and is not expected to reveal any problems.

For Nwaneri, it is his second loan spell this year. In the second half of last season, the England U21 international, who has 15 caps at that level, played for Olympique Marseille, but managed only a modest eleven appearances there, with two goals and one assist. In Dortmund, the youngster is an option for both positions behind a central striker, but could also lead the line himself if needed.
