Arsenal player 'open to leaving the club' after winning Premier League title

Arsenal may have finally won the Premier League but there's already news of a potential departure from their title-winning squad.

The Gunners were crowned champions for the first time in 22 years after Manchester City failed to beat Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Tuesday night.

After three consecutive seasons as runners up, Arsenal finally finished on top and the players celebrated wildly at the club's London Colney training facility.

Mikel Arteta's men will lift the trophy after the trip to Crystal Palace against Selhurst Park on Sunday, with captain Martin Odegaard and the rest of the teammates receiving their winners' medals.

However, a fresh report from Sky Germany has reported that Ethan Nwaneri could be on the move from Arsenal in the summer.

The 19-year-old, previously the youngest player to feature in the Premier League until Max Dowman came along, was one of the nominees for the PFA Young Player of the Year last season.

He then signed a new long-term contract until 2030 in August but struggled for regular minutes in Arteta's Arsenal machine.

Nwaneri failed to make a single start for Arsenal in the Premier League, where he played six times and therefore still qualifies for a medal.

In January he was loaned out to Marseille, where he has scored twice in 11 appearances and helped them to a fifth-placed finish in Ligue One.

But while Nwaneri is scheduled to return to North London, he remains a top target for Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund - who are poised to make another approach for him.

Dortmund tried to sign him previously before he extended his contract and are still huge admirers, having made an enquiry about his situation.

Nwaneri is said to be open to a move this summer and would not be opposed to joining Dortmund, who have a history of getting the best out of young players who haven't quite had their desired minutes elsewhere.

However a deal is not a foregone conclusion, with a high transfer fee anticipated and "difficulty" arranging a loan.

While Nwaneri has hit the threshold of five games to earn a winners' medal, back-up goalkeepers Kepa Arrizabalaga and Tommy Setford have not as they did not make a single appearance in the Premier League.

Still, Arsenal will be handed 40 medals from the Premier League to dish out and can do see as they see fit to those who have played a part in the triumph.
