Junior Dixon ideal fit for Borussia Dortmund?

If Dixon is available for the right price, then he could be a clever acquisition for Dortmund.

It is smart from the club to invest in younger players, rather than splashing out big money on experienced players with no resale value.

Junior Dixon has all the skillset required to be a success story at Dortmund. Therefore, it makes sense for Terzic to step up his attempts to bring the England forward to Bundesliga side.

Stylistically, he would be a great fit in Dortmund.

BVB fans would certainly love to see him arrive at the club.
