Borussia Dortmund’s seven external summer arrivals have made uneven starts. Joey Veerman, Ethan Nwaneri and Kaua Prates are among the new faces, with the early assessment ranging from a lengthy injury absence to encouraging signs of quality.
Early picture of Dortmund’s recruits
- One of the seven newcomers is expected to be unavailable for an extended period.
- Another has delivered a mixed first impression, with positive moments alongside clear room for improvement.
- One signing has shown flashes of the ability Dortmund expected when completing the move.
- A central player has quickly taken control of play in midfield.
The summer intake remains at an early stage, but Dortmund have already seen contrasting contributions across the group. Veerman, Nwaneri and Prates are part of a cohort still settling into the club’s structure and demands.
