Yesterday, German football club Borussia Dortmund (BVB) announced signing 22-year-old Portuguese defender Raphaël Guerreiro from French club FC Lorient on a four-year deal. Dortmund allowed 22-year-old Marvin Ducksch to join Hamburg-based club FC St. Pauli the day before. St. Pauli plays in the 2. Bundesliga second-tier football league in Germany.

Raphaël Guerreiro is a technically experienced player who is equally comfortable in several positions.

—Michael Zorc, BVB Sporting Director

Having dual citizenship, French and Portuguese, Guerreiro has scored two goals for Portugal in his seven international games. Last season, he played 34 Ligue 1 matches for Lorient. Guerreiro had a medical checkup in Paris on Wednesday, with clearance from the Portuguese Football Federation. Sporting Director Michael Zorc said, "Raphaël Guerreiro is a technically experienced player who is equally comfortable in several positions." ((de))German language: ‍Raphaël Guerreiro ist ein technisch versierter Spieler, der sich auf mehreren Positionen zu Hause fühlt.

Ducksch joined Dortmund fourteen years ago, when he was 8. Since then, he has played six games with the first team. Last season, he scored fifteen goals in 28 games for Borussia Dortmund II, Dortmund's reserve team. Dortmund's website reported it was Ducksch's wish to join St. Pauli. Both the clubs have agreed to keep silence about the transfer fee.

This season, BVB has signed teen-aged players Emre Mor and Ousmane Dembélé.
