Summary

Borussia Dortmund finalized a loan agreement for Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri just before the transfer window closed.

Negotiations took place late into the night, with sporting director Ole Book managing to reach an agreement just after 2:30am. Nwaneri underwent a medical the following day. Book's efforts are seen as a significant endorsement of his capabilities in his new role at Dortmund.
