Star signing Jobe Bellingham isn't expected to be Borussia Dortmund's only reinforcement this summer.

However, coach Niko Kovač, sporting director Sebastian Kehl and managing director Lars Ricken have opposing views on priorities.

As the Ruhr Nachrichten reports, the BVB head coach isn't giving up on his desire to sign a defensive minded No.6 in midfield.

Kovač's sees a need for action in this position, however the likes of Ardon Jashari are unlikely to find their way to the Westfalenstadion.

As the local newspaper further reports, the squad planners have other ideas, with Kehl primarily looking for a new left winger.

Johan Bakayoko remains the preferred player and a No.10, which role is to be filled by Carney Chukwuemeka on an extended loan.
