Shinji Kagawa, Ilkay Gundogan, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and most recently, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Dortmund fans may not like it, but their club is fast becoming one of the leading places for Premier League giants to shop.

The most likely player to move from north-west Germany to England this summer is American winger-cum-number 10 Christian Pulisic, a footballing prodigy who is still to celebrate his 20th birthday, despite having racked up nearly 100 games at club level.

As well as being a supremely gifted athlete, Pulisic also represents an enormous marketing opportunity. He is virtually nailed on to be the face of US soccer for the next decade, and whomever snags him from Dortmund is probably going to make a killing on merchandise sales across the pond.

Manchester United, potentially in the market for a new creative force amid doubts over Paul Pogba's future, are said to be big admirers, although you wouldn't totally rule out Liverpool from the equation either, particularly if Salah leaves.
