3 talents at Borussia Dortmund to look for in the years to come

Borussia Dortmund has been known to be a talent producing goldmine since the last decade. The likes of Marco Reus, Mario Gotze, Mats Hummels, and Robert Lewandowski all made their name at Westfalenstadion. Some chose to stay, some chose to move on and some even came back to the club that gave them a life on the football pitch. Hans-Joachim Watzke and Michael Zorc have done an incredible job at the club over the years. The tradition of scouting promising youngsters and giving them chances to develop and become world-class talents has continued. The likes of Ousmane Dembele and Christian Pulisic have developed into world-class talents which have given Dortmund a fortune to reinvest and become a stronger club in the process. This suits their targets and gives them greater financial stability in the long run.

Here are 3 youngsters at the Signal Iduna Park who need to be watched out for in the years to come.

#3. Giovanni Reyna

Giovanni Reyna is following the footsteps of Christian Pulisic

Giovanni Reyna is the next most highly rated American starlet on the planet. Much like his compatriot Christian Pulisic, he's fulfiling his dreams by starting with Borussia Dortmund in Europe. He joined Borussia Dortmund last summer from New York City FC academy and had started to immediately impress in the youth squad. The youngster has scored 8 goals and assisted 8 more in 16 appearances for the youth squad this season at Dortmund. His progress did not go unnoticed and Lucien Favre called him up to the first team during this winter break in Germany.

He made his debut last night alongside Erling Braut Haaland and was impressive in the few minutes he was on the pitch. He became the 5th youngest player to make his debut in the Bundesliga and the youngest American to do so last night at 17 years and 66 days. Just like Pulisic, Reyna is best utilised as a no.10 but he can deputise on both wings as and when required. Favre looks impressed by him and it very much looks like he is going to his chances to prove himself in the days to come.

#2. Erling Braut Haaland

Erling Haland has started his Borussia Dortmund career with a bang.

After Kylian Mbappe, Erling Braut Haaland is the hottest centre forward prospect currently on the planet right now. The youngster joined Red Bull Salzburg last winter and the 12 months that followed had been enough to get big names like Manchester United, Juventus, and Borussia Dortmund show concrete interest in him. He had been in sublime form since the beginning of the current season and he was impressive in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League which drew further interests from many clubs.

He joined Borussia Dortmund and it looks like he made the right decision in doing so. He started his yellow-blacks stint with a hat-trick in 23 minutes of him being on the field. He has made 23 appearances this season across all competitions during which he has scored 31 goals and assisted 7 more. These are insane numbers for the Norwegian international who's just 19 years of age. He stands 1.94 m tall and is physically well built for his age. He's got a great amount of pace and with good technique and everything points in the direction of him being one of the best players of his generation.

#1. Jadon Sancho

Sancho is a generational talent.

Jadon Sancho is now a household name in Germany. He's been impressive in the Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League since last season and he's pretty much continued doing so this season as well. The English youngster joined from Manchester City in the summer of 2017 and it took time for him settle down but once he found his gears, he's been all guns blazing and has become an indispensable part of the Borussia Dortmund set-up.

Last season he had 13 goals and 19 assists across all competitions and this seasons he's been in much more sublime form garnering 13 goals and 14 assists already, whilst the second half of the season has only just begun. He is known for his pace, dribbling, ball control, and technique alongside his game intelligence. He is everything a winger needs to be and his game will only become better with time. He's already garnered a lot of interests from across Europe and it is only a matter of time before he moves to a bigger club and proves his mettle out there.
