Borussia Mönchengladbach forward Thorgan Hazard has all but confirmed that he will be joining Borussia Dortmund next season. Hazard enjoyed a standout 2018/19 campaign for Die Fohlen, scoring 10 goals and assisting 10 in 33 Bundesliga appearances.

And after hinting towards a Dortmund switch in April, his latest quotes reveal that a move could soon be made official.

“Witsel is a player with who I speak very often,” he told reporters on Saturday. “Next year, he will be there to help me. “When a club like Borussia Dortmund calls you, the motivation is clear. It is good to have someone that I know there. “I hope that I will adapt easily, but I don’t think there will be any issue.”
