Borussia Dortmund Manager Lucien Favre Plans Squad Upheaval With Move for Chile Star

Borussia Dortmund appear set for a huge shakeup under new manager Lucien Favre, who has identified Bologna's Erick Pulgar as his key transfer target.

The report comes from German outlet Sport Buzzer, who claim to have received information informing them of Favre's wishes. However, Pulgar is primarily a central midfielder, and the German side already have several players in that area of the pitch.

Mario Gotze has recently been deployed in that position, whilst the likes of Sebastian Rode, Nuri Sahin and Shinji Kagawa are all options in the heart of the midfield.
