Loan Watch: How the five Borussia Dortmund loanees are faring this season
By Tushar Bahl
Immanuel Pherai – PEC Zwolle
Immanuel Pherai joined Dutch side PEC Zwolle in the summer after signing a one year contract extension with Borussia Dortmund.
The young attacking midfielder has been collecting some valuable playing time and experience on loan. He has made a total of 23 appearances for the Eredivisie outfit so far, with 12 of those coming from the start. He has one goal and two assists to his name.
Pherai has shown glimpses of his quality and talent, but seems to be lacking consistency at the moment. His contract with Borussia Dortmund expires at the end of next season, and a decision on his future will likely be made in the summer.
Jeremy Toljan – US Sassuolo
Toljan is on loan at Italian side US Sassuolo, where he has made 16 appearances so far this season. The full-back missed a few games after testing positive for COVID-19 in October. And he has found himself in and out of the side since his return.
Toljan’s future has already been decided. He will be joining Sassuolo on a permanent transfer this summer for a fee of around five million euros.
