Borussia Dortmund have completed the signing of Norwegian full-back Julian Ryerson from Bundesliga high-flyers Union Berlin.<\/p>\n

Ryerson joins the Black and Yellows on a three and a half year deal for a reported fee of \u20ac5m.<\/p>\n

Having signed for Union back in 2018, he helped the club achieve promotion to the Bundesliga in 2019 and qualification for European football on two separate occasions in a golden era for the club.<\/p>\n

BVB Sporting Director Sebastian Kehl told the club\u2019s website: \u201cJulian is an intelligent player who\u00a0defends very aggressively. We really like his profile, his character and his desire to leave the pitch on the winning side under all circumstances.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re looking forward to having Julian and are happy that we have been able to execute this transfer at such short notice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Naturally a right-back, the 25-year-old is also able to fill in at left-back, and is known for his abilities going forward as well as defensively.<\/p>\n

Due to his style of play and versatility, Ryerson has been likened to former Dortmund man Achraf Hakimi, who was one of the standout performers for an overachieving Morocco side in Qatar last month at the World Cup.<\/p>\n
