Fresh move – BVB enquire again about Ethan Nwaneri | OneFootball

It is currently unclear whether Serhou Guirassy will still be playing for Borussia Dortmund next season. But even if the striker stays, BVB definitely want to add another attacking player alongside Ecuadorian top talent Justin Lerma (Independiente del Valle).

At the very top of the list of new signings that sporting director Ole Book has indicated for the coming weeks is a replacement for Julian Brandt, who, while only rarely truly undisputed, still delivered goals and assists with pleasing regularity.

In this context, BVB have once again set their sights on Ethan Nwaneri for the attacking midfield role. The 19-year-old, with whom Dortmund were reportedly already largely in agreement last summer before he extended his contract with Arsenal, has been on loan at Olympique Marseille since January, but with two goals and one assist in eleven competitive appearances, he has not really made a lasting impression there.

Nwaneri will now first return to the Gunners in the summer, who rate the potential of the England U21 international very highly, but at the Champions League finalists and Premier League leaders he is still likely to struggle to get the playing time he wants.

Of course, BVB are also aware of Nwaneri’s situation and, according to Sky, sporting director Ole Book has inquired about the terms of a possible transfer.

BVB are said to be considering a loan deal, but would need Arsenal to be willing to cooperate. However, the Gunners apparently do not want to loan out the youngster again and are instead leaning more toward a sale, which, with an asking price reportedly well into the tens of millions, would likely exceed Dortmund’s budget.
