Borussia Dortmund already appear to have found their replacement for Sebastian Kehl, whose contract as sporting director was terminated on Sunday.

According to Sky Germany and Bild, Borussia Dortmund have agreed personal terms with Elversberg sporting director Nils-Ole Book.

Bild goes as far as to state that an agreement is also in place with SV Elversberg over the transfer fee, which is said to be in the low six-figure range.

Only minor details remain to be clarified before Book can be officially presented by BVB.

Book has made a name for himself at Elversberg, showcasing an impressive eye for talent.

Nick Woltemade, Fisnik Asllani, Younes Ebnoutalib, Robin Fellhauer and Paul Wanner are just some of the players who have had successful stints at the 2. Bundesliga side.
