Dortmund deny Kagawa to Bordeaux rumours

Borussia Dortmund have denied reports Shinji Kagawa is set to join French side Bordeaux on loan.

Reports from France suggested that Dortmund had agreed a deal with the Ligue 1 club for the Japan international, though Kagawa had yet to be convinced about the move.

However, Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc has distanced himself from those rumours.

Speaking to Ruhr Nachtrichten, the 56-year-old said: "I know nothing about that.”

Despite that denial, Kagawa is still expected to leave Dortmund before the end of the January transfer window.

After last season was cut short by injury, Kagawa has struggled to regain his starting berth under Lucian Favre this time around, with Marco Reus being his preferred option in attacking midfield.
