Final Thoughts

When looking at the option to sign a player like Jonathan David in the current transfer market, the signing usually comes with the ever impending headache of laying out immense sums of money on the table.

In the case of David, however, it would seem that Borussia Dortmund have identified a very affordable and potentially prolific target capable of bolstering their ranks for a cut price when it comes to the sport’s current standards for transfers.

In the advent of a departure for Mario Götze, Dortmund would do well to replace him, especially considering that he is the main backup for both Reus and Haaland.

Next. Three players who could replace Jadon Sancho when he leaves Borussia Dortmund. dark

David is a player that has shown he is capable of playing in both positions, which would make him indispensable down the road for Dortmund and in turn allow him ample playing time on the pitch at a club that would utilize his attacking and creative skillsets to their full capabilities.
