Borussia Dortmund Acts Swiftly, Agrees Deal with Arsenal for Talented Youngster

Borussia Dortmund has reached an agreement with Arsenal to sign the Gunners' talented attacking midfielder, Ethan Nwaneri, according to reports in England and Fabrizio Romano.

The 19-year-old footballer will join the German side on loan until the end of the season. Dortmund will cover his salary in full.

Borussia needed to act quickly in the attacking department following the severe injury to their new Greek signing, Ioannis Konstantelias, who sustained a serious injury in the very first Bundesliga matchday and will be sidelined for an extended period.

Nwaneri, on the other hand, was unlikely to get many opportunities in Mikel Arteta's squad. Last season, the young Englishman was also out on loan, at Marseille, where he scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist in 11 appearances.

Nwaneri is versatile and can play as an attacking midfielder, a right winger, or a forward.
