Gio Reyna gets the No.7 shirt at Borussia Dortmund

Gio Reyna will don the number 7 shirt at Borussia Dortmund this season following Jadon Sancho’s move to Manchester United.

Borussia Dortmund attacking midfielder Gio Reyna has been given the number 7 shirt at Borussia Dortmund. The attacking midfielder previously had the number 32 on the back of his shirt. But with Jadon Sancho joining Manchester United, he has now been given a new shirt number heading into the new season.

Gio Reyna, who joined Borussia Dortmund from New York City FC in 2019, has enjoyed a remarkable rise over the last 18 months. He made his first team debut in January 2020, and has since become a regular player in the first team. He signed a long-term contract with the Black and Yellows in November. And him getting the number seven shirt further shows just how highly he is rated at the club.

Reyna has scored eight goals and provided nine assists in 64 appearances across all competitions for Borussia Dortmund. The 18 year old also wears the number 7 shirt for the United States men’s National Team. He recently helped them win the CONCACAF Nations League and is now back in Dortmund to prepare for the new season.

Reyna will likely have an important role to play this season under new head coach Marco Rose, as Borussia Dortmund look to compete for the Bundesliga title.

New BVB signings Gregor Kobel and Soumaila Coulibaly have also been given their shirt numbers. Kobel has taken over the number 1 shirt from Roman Bürki. While Coulibaly will have the number 4 on his back.
