Bundesliga sides have until 7pm UK time on Tuesday to finalise their summer business, although the window being open in England would give them another four hours.
Dortmund have identified Nwaneri as a late target as they look to bolster their options for this season's Champions League.
They will face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on November 24, although Nwaneri would be unlikely to be eligible to face his parent club should he make the move.
The midfielder was not included in the matchday squad for Arsenal's win over Aston Villa on Monday night.
He has yet to feature for the Gunners this term, having been an unused substitute against Coventry City in the season opener.
Nwaneri spent the second half of last season on loan at Marseille.
However, he made just 11 appearances for the club, scoring twice and adding an assist.

Nwaneri made his first appearance in the competition as a 17-year-old back in November 2024.
To date, he has scored twice in ten Champions League outings for Arsenal.
