Dortmund is looking to acquire an Arsenal player after losing interest in pursuing Jadon Sancho.

Sancho was eagerly anticipating his return to Dortmund for a third time, as the team was ready to reignite their interest in Arsenal's rising star, Ethan Nwaneri. The 19-year-old had spent the second half of the season on loan at Marseille in France, after failing to secure a single start in the Premier League under manager Mikel Arteta. Despite a promising start, Nwaneri's loan spell in Ligue 1 ended on a less-than-satisfactory note, marking the end of a difficult season for him.

As a result, he was among a small group of players that Arsenal was considering selling to make room for new signings in the upcoming summer transfer window.

However, Dortmund had also shown interest in his talents, with Sky Germany reporting that the club is once again considering him for their team.

Dortmund's main target for the summer is a versatile number 10 who can also play on the wings. Although Jadon Sancho has been heavily linked to a return to the club for a third time, reports suggest that the German giants have cooled their interest in the 26-year-old. Aside from Nwaneri, other options being considered by Dortmund include Hertha Berlin's Kennet Eichhorn, Lille's Matias Fernandez, and Colombian youngster Samuel Martinez.

However, Nwaneri remains highly-regarded by the club and they are determined to make another attempt to sign him, having previously inquired about his situation. Fortunately, Nwaneri is open to the idea of joining Dortmund, but the likelihood of a deal is currently low due to the complexities of negotiating a loan and the transfer fee that Arsenal would demand. In addition to Nwaneri, Arsenal's fellow academy graduate, Myles Lewis-Skelly, could also be up for sale this summer.

It was reported last month that the club is seeking a combined fee of £100m for the two young players. While Lewis-Skelly's chances of securing a first-team spot have improved in recent weeks, Manchester United is reportedly interested in acquiring him. Along with Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly, Arsenal could also potentially sell Gabriel Jesus, Ben White, and Gabriel Martinelli this summer.
