Dortmund on the verge of buying 17yo swedish attacker Alexander Isak (
swedish,
german, english
articles).
-comes over from AIK Solna for about 9mil.€
-scored 10goals in 24 league matches last season
-debuted as a 16yo in swedish first division
-scored his first goal (in 2nd match) for swedish national team
-also had some interest from Real: many articles said that he´s in Madrid to sign a contract for them (only 3-5 days ago that was the rumor)
-costs less than Dortmund will receive for Adrian Ramos, who will leave for China
--> consider that Aubameyang is still at the African Cup (could be back after the group stage in about a week; two draws for Gabun) and other attacker Adrian Ramos should leave soon. They play Schürrle as a lone striker today, they are still in the Champions League (winning the Group over Real), they are in a tough fight over CL spots and Europa League in the Bundesliga. They have a ton of attacking midfielders/wingers (Schürrle, Götze, Reus, Pulisic, Dembelé) who could play if Aubameyang isn´t available. It will be tough to play, if Aubameyang misses a few weeks. (Imagine an attacking midfield with Emre Mor/19, Ousmane Dembelé/19, Christian Pulisic/18 and striker Alex Isak/17.
