Hazard & Schulz set for Dortmund

According to Kicker, Borussia Dortmund are set to secure two big signings over the course of the next few weeks – Thorgan Hazard and Nico Schulz. The belief is that Schulz will be arriving from fellow German club Hoffenheim for a fee of around £20 million, but the real story in the eyes of many is going to be Hazard. The Belgian sensation is tipped to arrive for a fee of around £25 million, which will probably be seen as a bargain when you consider the inflation rate involved with transfer fees these days. Hazard has built quite a reputation for himself with Borussia Monchengladbach, and it’s hard to deny that he deserves a big money move like this. He’ll almost certainly slot straight into the starting XI for Dortmund, who are still holding out hope that they can wrestle the Bundesliga title away from Bayern Munich.

Can it happen? We’ll have to wait and see.
