Borussia Dortmund are still searching for a replacement for Michy Batshuayi who has moved back to Chelsea after his loan deal with 'Die Schwarzgelben' expired.

However, Dortmund won't just sign any striker. It has to be the right candidate, sporting director Michael Zorc underlines.

"If there is no transfer that will convince us completely, we will not do anything. We will not do crazy things. I'm not a fan of signing a striker just for the sake of signing one," Zorc tells Revier Sport.

In case Dortmund don't sign a new striker, Maximilian Philipp could be used in a false nine role.

During the summer, Dortmund have been linked with Chelsea's Alvaro Morata, Werder Bremen's Max Kruse and RB Salzburg's Hee-Chan Hwang among others.
