Borussia Dortmund are being linked with a summer move for former Arsenal attacking midfielder Ethan Nwaneri, with the 19-year-old rated at around €40.00m.
The speculation, listed with a probability of 33% on 26 May 2026, suggests Dortmund are exploring a deal to take the England‑ and Nigeria‑eligible youngster from Arsenal to the Bundesliga. Transfermarkt currently values the playmaker at €40.00m, a figure that would place him among the most expensive teenage midfielders in Europe if any transfer fee were agreed.
Nwaneri, born in London on 21 March 2007, operates primarily as an attacking midfielder and is left‑footed. The data shows him now at Marseille, wearing the number 11 shirt, having emerged from Arsenal’s system in the Premier League before heading to Ligue 1 with Olympique Marseille. With his contract details at the French club and any formal agreement with Arsenal not specified in the available information, there is also room for speculation that a future move could involve him running down a deal or becoming a free agent if no extension is signed.
The teenager, who stands at 1.76m, holds dual nationality with England and Nigeria and has been listed with national team affiliation to Olympique Marseille. No specific competitive match statistics, opponents, dates or scorelines are provided in the current data set, so his recent performances cannot be fully assessed here, but his market valuation underlines the expectation around his development.
Dortmund have built a reputation for polishing young attacking talents, and if a deal can be struck – whether via a transfer fee close to his €40.00m valuation or a later free‑agent scenario – a move to the Bundesliga could become a defining step in Nwaneri’s career and shape how his potential is realised at the highest level.
