He has since scored 29 goals in 157 games in all competitions, nine of which have come in this campaign as Dortmund battle with Bayern Munich, Union Berlin and RB Leipzig for top spot.

Forward on radar

Fellow English clubs West Ham United and Aston Villa have also been credited with an interest in the Brazilian who has found the net three times in 24 outigs this term. He made the switch to Spain in last summer and penned a deal until 2028.
