Dortmund : German football club Borussia Dortmund has announced the signing of Portugal winger Raphael Guerreiro for 12 million euros ($13.4 million).
“Raphael Guerreiro is a skillful player who feels at home in a wide range of positions,” Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc said on Thursday.
Guerreiro, coming from French side Lorient, underwent a medical examination at the Portugal training camp for Euro 2016 in France, reports Efe.
The 22-year-old has signed with Dortmund until 2020.
He is the sixth signing for Dortmund ahead of next season following Emre Mor, Ousmane Dembele, Mikel Merino, Marc Bartra and Sebastian Rode, with Mor, Merino and Dembele still under 20.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
