Arsenal include January recall clause in Ethan Nwaneri loan deal
Summary

Arsenal sent teenager Ethan Nwaneri to Borussia Dortmund on a season-long loan following the conclusion of the transfer window. The agreement is a straight loan without a purchase option, ensuring the midfielder remains under Arsenal ownership. Borussia Dortmund sought the move to bolster their squad following an ACL injury to recent acquisition Giannis Konstantelias. The contract includes a recall clause that allows Arsenal to bring Nwaneri back to London in January. This provision provides the club with flexibility should they encounter squad shortages, injuries, or suspensions during the Premier League season. Nwaneri is expected to secure regular playing minutes in the Bundesliga before returning to the Gunners, who intend to evaluate his development in 2027.
