Two key details emerge on Arsenal's recall clause for Nwaneri

It was recently reported that Arsenal have an option to recall Ethan Nwaneri from his loan spell at Borussia Dortmund during the January transfer window.

However, local outlet Ruhr Nachrichten has now provided further clarity on the situation and revealed two key details of the agreement.

According to the German publication, Arsenal are contractually unable to activate the recall clause at short notice during the transfer window and must “announce the recall well in advance”.

While there is no specific deadline, the London club must make their intentions clear “well before the start of the transfer window”.

Another important detail is that, should Arsenal choose to exercise their recall option, the loan fee would be reduced to zero. In addition, the Gunners would have to cover the full salary of the England U21 international.

Dortmund paid a reported €5 million to bring Nwaneri to Germany on loan.
