With Borussia Dortmund in the market for a left-back this summer, the latest player linked is Wolfsburg’s Jerome Roussillon.

WAZ are the source reporting Borussia Dortmund’s interest in the Frenchman, although it is preliminary interest at best. This has been a fairly common theme for Dortmund in the past, as soon as a player from another team has a good game against Dortmund they are immediately linked with potential interest. Although this interest is very early it is intriguing solely on the base that left-back is a position that Dortmund will without question be upgrading this summer.

Roussillon is in his first season in the Bundesliga, joining Wolfsburg from Montpellier for 5 million euros last summer. He has enjoyed a successful debut campaign, with three goals and five assists thus far with 6 games remaining. That is great output from a wing back especially on a team that doesn’t score a ton. He combines a great blend of pace with some technical ability that has lead to him becoming a successful Bundesliga starter.

Although Roussillon is having a good season and is also at a good age, 26, it’s still more likely Borussia Dortmund will be looking to bring in a more established player. With Hakimi and Schmelzer already signed next season, they should be looking for a left-back who is able to come in and be ready to start from the get go.

The other players who have been linked with Dortmund recently have been Filipe Luis and Philipp Max. The former will be 34 years old before the 2019/2020 Bundesliga starts, and the latter is a player who offers very similar attributes as Hakimi. With left-back being a significant position for Dortmund to fill, there will likely be several more names thrown around in the coming months.
