Arsenal are reportedly considering ending Ethan Nwaneri's loan spell at Borussia Dortmund ahead of schedule after the young midfielder has struggled for minutes in the Bundesliga. The 18-year-old joined the German club on a season-long deal but has featured sparingly, prompting speculation that the Premier League side could activate a recall clause in January.

The situation was highlighted in a report on November 9, 2026, which noted that Nwaneri's lack of game time could force Arsenal's hand. The England youth international has made only a handful of substitute appearances since his summer move, and his development is being closely monitored by Arsenal's coaching staff.
