New rumours: BVB interested in Ethan Nwaneri again? | OneFootball

Before Fabio Silva was ultimately signed as an alternative to Serhou Guirassy for the center-forward role, Borussia Dortmund looked at several strikers last summer. Among them was Fisnik Asllani of TSG Hoffenheim, who is once again being linked as a potential new signing. And Ethan Nwaneri, whose name is now also doing the rounds again in connection with BVB.

As reported by the BBC and transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, BVB are still keeping an eye on Nwaneri and his development, which in recent months has not gone as hoped or as many experts expected. The 19-year-old attacking player has barely played a role for Arsenal in the first half of the season and had to make do with six Premier League appearances, all of them coming off the bench.

That led to a loan move to Olympique Marseille in January, but so far the interim verdict in France has also been rather mixed. In Ligue 1, Nwaneri has featured in eight of a possible eleven matches, but only three times in the starting lineup. At least the England U21 international has shown flashes of his potential with two goals, but to make the breakthrough at the top level, Nwaneri needs more and, above all, regular playing time.

Interest from the Premier League as well

Because several top English talents such as Jadon Sancho, Jude Bellingham and Jamie Gittens have developed very well in Dortmund in the past, Nwaneri would likely at least consider BVB as an option if the matter becomes serious. That is not yet the case, but it could certainly happen as the transfer market becomes more active.

BVB would not be without competition in the race for Nwaneri, as several Premier League clubs are also said to have him on their radar. In addition, it is considered unlikely that Arsenal would let the youngster go completely without retaining any control, which would likely make negotiations rather difficult.
