Giannis Konstantelias scored on his Bundesliga debut for Borussia Dortmund, then suffered a cruciate ligament tear in the same match against Hamburg. Dortmund are now looking to cover the attacking gap left by the Greek midfielder.
According to Patrick Berger, the club’s leading option is Ethan Nwaneri. The 19-year-old English winger belongs to Arsenal and has been on Dortmund’s radar for some time. The two clubs also considered a move last summer, but no agreement followed.
Dortmund are now seriously examining a loan deal for Nwaneri. The possible move would address the vacancy on the flanks of the attack created by Konstantelias’ injury, although Nwaneri is not the only player under consideration.
Nwaneri began last season with Arsenal, making 12 appearances and scoring once during the first half of the campaign. In January, he moved to Marseille on loan and made nine Ligue 1 appearances, scoring two goals and providing one assist.
