Thomas Tuchel, Borussia Dortmund Rift Reportedly Alerts Premier League Clubs

A major rift between Borussia Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel and the club's lead scout has reportedly put Premier League clubs on high alert, as one of the two could be set to depart BVB in the near future.

Sven Mislintat has played a key part in BVB's incredible rise during the last few seasons and is credited with identifying the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Shinji Kagawa.

According to Alex Richards of the Daily Mirror, he and Tuchel are no longer speaking after a deal to sign Oliver Torres of Atletico Madrid fell through during the summer:

Torres, 21, rejoined Porto on loan for the current season, having spent the 2014-15 campaign in Portugal, before returning to Atleti last term.
