Will BVB grab a German national player?
In the runners-up, defensive worries popped up again in the 6-1 cup win against regional league team Schott Mainz. After 29 minutes, Niklas Süle had to be substituted with back problems, and his replacement Nico Schlotterbeck has meanwhile been treated.

Dortmund are already thinly occupied in central defense!
With Süle, Schlotterbeck and Mats Hummels there are currently only three regular players in the squad for the center of defence. Therefore, the Ruhrpott club wants to follow suit. And seems to have a World Cup driver in mind…
According to “Sport1”, Armel Bella-Kotchap (21) is a hot candidate at BVB!

The defensive giant (1.90 meters tall) has been playing for Southampton FC since last summer and was relegated from the Premier League with the England club last season. The “Saints” had signed Bella-Kotchap for eleven million euros from VfL Bochum.

Now he could return to the Ruhrpott. A possible transfer fee should therefore be 20 million euros.
But: In Dortmund, Bella-Kotchap would probably only be number four in the central defender hierarchy behind Süle, Schlotterbeck and Hummels. As a defensive talent and young national player, the ex-Bochumer actually needs secure playing time.
In addition, BVB is also looking for reinforcements in the center of the attack. So it is open whether the Dortmunders would spend such a fee for the defense help.
After the cup kick it is also clear that BVB still needs a top alternative in central defense. This is where Bella-Kotchap could definitely help…
