Ethan Nwaneri joins Borussia Dortmund on loan, Arsenal keep recall

Ethan Nwaneri has joined Borussia Dortmund on loan. Arsenal blocked a purchase option and put an unconditional January recall clause in the deal, per CBS Sports. The 19-year-old midfielder heads to the Bundesliga for regular first-team minutes. Arsenal clearly want to keep control of his development, and the recall option lets them pull him back mid-season if they make a call on it. The move gets Nwaneri into a competitive league while staying tied to north London.
