Dortmund secures loan deal for Nwaneri after Konstantelias injury
Summary

Borussia Dortmund finalized a loan agreement for Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri just before the transfer window closed. The deal was prompted by an ACL injury to Giannis Konstantelias, which necessitated a quick response from Dortmund. 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.
