Borussia Dortmund captain Marco Reus reveals he influenced Julian Brandt's decision to join BVB.

Apparently, Reus had a good talk with the offensive midfielder who has completed a move to Signal Iduna Park from Bayer Leverkusen.

"I took the initiative and explained to Julian what opportunities there are in Dortmund, which potential the club have and that a player like him belongs to BVB. I explained our DNA to him," Reus reveals in a column for GQ, as per Sport Bild.

BVB have also brought in Mateu Morey, Thorgan Hazard, Nico Schulz and Mats Hummels this summer.
