Done Deal! German Giant Reacts to Serious Injury, Snags English Talent Just Before Deadline

Nwaneri is set to replace Giannis Konstantelias, who will be sidelined for several months due to injury. The nineteen-year-old English footballer is expected to join the German club on a season-long loan, according to sources. This news broke shortly before Dortmund's German Cup match against fifth-tier Hamburg club HEBC. Nwaneri could make his debut in Saturday's league fixture away at Hoffenheim.

Konstantelias suffered a torn cruciate ligament in his knee during Saturday's league encounter with SV Hamburg and will be out of action for an extended period. Nineteen-year-old Nwaneri came through Arsenal's academy, making 51 appearances for the senior team, scoring ten goals, and providing two assists. Last season, he was on loan at Olympique Marseille. His Bundesliga loan deal was finalized just before the transfer window closed in Germany (8:00 PM CET). The information was reported by DPA.
