Borussia Dortmund will cover Ethan Nwaneri’s salary in full as Arsenal keep an option to bring back the 19-year-old next summer.
- On Tuesday, September 1, 2026, Arsenal agreed to loan 19-year-old Ethan Nwaneri to Borussia Dortmund for the 2026/27 season, with the Bundesliga club covering his salary in full.
- Dortmund targeted the teenager after summer signing Giannis Konstantelias suffered an ACL injury on his Bundesliga debut, while Nwaneri struggled for opportunities behind Bukayo Saka, Noni Madueke, and Max Dowman at Arsenal.
- The Gunners refused to include an option to buy in the loan agreement, ensuring Nwaneri remains under contract until 2030 while gaining regular playing time elsewhere.
- Manager Mikel Arteta acknowledged the midfielder 'needs to play football,' indicating a willingness to let him leave so he can return next summer as a more experienced player.
- The loan could see Nwaneri face his parent club in the Champions League later this season, as Dortmund has a reputation for trusting young attacking players in meaningful matches.
