– Speaking of his move, Haller said: “It’s a great stadium, but the greatest stadium is nothing without its fans.

– “I can hardly wait to be able to feel the support of more than 80,000 spectators as part of the BVB family.

– “Hopefully, we will achieve great things together in the coming years and then be able to celebrate together.”

– Dortmund have moved for Haller to help fill the void left by Erling Haaland’s summer move to Manchester City.

– Haller, 28, arrived in east London in 2019 for a fee of £45 million but was sold to Ajax for less than half that price 18 months later.

– He thrived under now Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, winning back to back-to-back titles.

– Haller scored 34 goals and recorded nine assists in 42 appearances in 2021-22, while he also finished as the Champions League’s top goalscorer in last season’s group stage.

– Dortmund have already signed another forward in Karim Adeyemi from Red Bull Salzburg as they prepare for life without Haaland.

– The 20-year-old Germany international scored 25 goals in 39 appearances for the Austrian champions last season and has penned a five-year deal at Signal Iduna Park.
