Borussia Dortmund’s latest signing is a name probably unknown to many followers of the Bundesliga, but in capturing Raphael Guerreiro from Lorient they have secured the signing of an exciting left-sided player.

The 22-year-old had been linked with a move to Barcelona, Arsenal and Liverpool this summer, but it is the Bundesliga club who have netted him for a fee in the region of €12 million.
