Arsenal’s promising young talent, Ethan Nwaneri, is on the verge of completing a season-long loan move to German giants Borussia Dortmund, according to Sami Mokbel. The transfer follows successful overnight discussions, culminating in an agreement for the deal.

Nwaneri, who became the youngest-ever Premier League player when he debuted for Arsenal at just 15 years old, will gain valuable first-team experience at Dortmund. This move highlights Arsenal's strategy to provide their academy graduates with opportunities for senior football at high-level clubs.

The loan deal is expected to be a significant step in Nwaneri's development, allowing him to compete in a top European league and potentially the Champions League. His return to Arsenal next season will likely see him better prepared for a regular role within Mikel Arteta's squad, having honed his skills in a competitive environment.
