BVB eyeing English defender Emmanuel Fernandez for back line | OneFootball

Aarón Anselmino is already gone, and although there is still hope of being able to loan the Argentinian, who was recalled by Chelsea via a clause, again, Borussia Dortmund must currently plan for the rest of the season with one less central defender. Since Niklas Süle is also very likely to depart in the summer when his contract expires, BVB needs to take action in the central defense and is keeping an eye on the market in this regard.

Among other things, BVB is apparently looking to Scotland in search of a new central defender. According to a report by the Scottish Sun, BVB, like Bayer Leverkusen, has already observed Emmanuel Fernandez during the season. The 24-year-old only moved from English third-tier club Peterborough United to the Glasgow Rangers last summer for around three million euros and has risen to become a regular player and key performer there after some initial time to settle in from autumn.

Contract with the Rangers until 2029

Fernandez, who could also play for Nigeria thanks to his roots and could be nominated for the Super Eagles for the first time in the foreseeable future, is attracting interest not only in the Bundesliga but also in England, where several clubs are closely following the development of the 1.98-meter tall defender.

Since Fernandez, who has scored an impressive four goals in 14 league games, has a contract with the Rangers until 2029, a signing is unlikely to be inexpensive for BVB or any other club.
