Dortmund Set for Defensive Shakeup With Erik Durm Pictured in Stuttgart Ahead of Move

Borussia Dortmund's defence is set for a hefty shake up before the transfer window closes in two weeks.

TSG Hoffenheim star Jeremy Toljan is a target for die Schwarzgelben and he is expected to join Dortmund this summer for €5m, with youngster Felix Passlack being sent to the Rhein-Neckar-Arena for the duration of the season.

All of this will rest with 25-year-old defender Erik Durm. The World Cup-winning left-back is in Stuttgart to complete a medical ahead of a permanent move away from the Signal Iduna Park. Durm's exit has been delayed due to additional scans taking place of his injured hip, with spells out of the Dortmund first team not uncommon through injury for the German international.
