BORUSSIA DORTMUND have reportedly beaten Liverpool and Chelsea to the signing of Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Mahmoud Dahoud.

Mahmoud Dahoud is said to be a long-term transfer target for both Liverpool and Chelsea.
The Blues reportedly held talks with his representatives last month and Jurgen Klopp is said to have been tracking Dahoud for a long time.
However, reports in Germany suggest he will snub both Premier League clubs in favour of a move to Borussia Dortmund.

German sports magazine Kicker claims Dortmund will trigger a clause in his contract, allowing them to sign the midfielder for around £12million.
Borussia Monchengladbach director Max Eberl claimed last month the club are working hard to get him to sign a new contract.
However, he suggested a summer transfer could be agreed if it proved beneficial for both parties.
"We have a great desire to extend the contract and I hope that we’ll end up sitting at the table together," Eberl said
"If it does not work, he still has a year left on his contract, so you would have to look into his eyes in the summer and see what is the best for everyone.”
Dahoud has featured 32 times for Gladbach this season, scoring two goals and providing five assists in all competitions.
