Ethan Nwaneri could potentially depart Arsenal in the summer transfer window, and his preferred destination has been named.

Arsenal are currently basking in Premier League title celebrations after Manchester City's draw against Bournemouth confirmed their rightful place as champions.

Ending a 22-year wait without a league title will feel sweet for anyone associated with the club, and even Nwaneri, who has spent the second half of the season on loan at Marseille

Nwaneri will receive a Premier League winners' medal, despite only making six appearances in the competition this term, with the rules stating that a player needs to make a minimum of five. 

The 19-year-old has only played a sporadic role for Marseille since joining the club in January, scoring twice in nine appearances, but Sky Germany has suggested that he may not even play for the Gunners next season. 

The report claims that Nwaneri is "open to a move" to long-term admirers Borussia Dortmund, although a deal is "unlikely" due to the finances involved. 

Nwaneri's contract at the Emirates Stadium runs until 2030, and with the teenager commanding a high fee, Dortmund could be priced out of a transfer. Nonetheless, it will be interesting to see how this narrative develops.
