Football News Update: Serhou Guirassy Decides to Join Borussia Dortmund
In a significant move in the world of European football, VfB Stuttgart forward Serhou Guirassy has decided to join Borussia Dortmund. The 28-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Premier League giants Arsenal, but the German club has ultimately secured his services.
Guirassy, who was one of the standout performers in the Bundesliga during the 2023/24 season, scoring an impressive 28 goals in 28 league appearances, has attracted the attention of several top clubs across Europe. With a release clause in his current contract worth around £15 million (€17.5 million), the striker was always expected to leave Stuttgart this summer.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Guirassy has “accepted” a move to Borussia Dortmund, and the German club will activate the release clause to secure his signature. This news will come as a disappointment to Arsenal, who were reportedly in the race to sign the talented forward.
Champions League Finalists Secure Guirassy’s Signature
Champions League finalists Dortmund have been considered the frontrunners to land Guirassy, and their pursuit of the player has now come to a successful conclusion. The Bundesliga side will be hoping that the addition of Guirassy will bolster their attacking options as they look to challenge for the league title and make a deep run in the Champions League next season.
Arsenal Shift Focus to Other Transfer Targets
Meanwhile, Arsenal will need to shift their focus to other transfer targets as they aim to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2024/25 campaign. The Gunners are expected to be in the market for a new striker, right winger, and central midfielder, with the likes of Spain and Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams emerging as a potential target.
