Ethan Nwaneri, a highly rated young player for Arsenal, finds himself without an obvious role in the squad. His future could be in the Bundesliga, a league known for rehabilitating Premier League players who have struggled to find their place.
Borussia Dortmund have made a successful project out of taking Premier League players who have struggled to find their footing. They provide a platform for these players to shine, often resulting in a top performance.
At the top clubs, even highly rated players can miss out on minutes through no fault of their own. Spare parts are often left on the bench, waiting for an opportunity to step up.
Ethan Nwaneri, despite being highly rated, struggled for a role at Arsenal. A loan to Marseille last season was not a huge success, and it seems likely he'd be sold or loaned out if the club receives a good offer.
Borussia Dortmund are reportedly interested in Nwaneri, and may be tempted by a loan or a permanent move. Arsenal can continue to loan him without worrying about his value, as he signed a new contract a year ago.
Dortmund can offer Nwaneri regular football in a really open and attacking league. He can potentially thrive there and then return to Arsenal or another Premier League club.
The Germans' offer will be tempting for Arsenal, but depending on other business the club does, there's a chance that a role may open up for Nwaneri as a backup. The departure of Leandro Trossard, and other sales, could create a new opportunity for the young player.
