So far, Jacob Bruun Larsen has only played a single Bundesliga match for Borussia Dortmund. But the Dane is likely to add to that tally during next season as he has made a great impression at the club's pre-season tour in the United States.

The 19-year-old spent last season on loan at VfB Stuttgart who would have liked to keep him. But Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc declined - and so far he doesn't regret that decision.

"I really like him," Zorc told Kicker and described Bruun Larsen as "fresh, alive and self-confident".

"You don't have to cost a lost of money to have perspective here," he added.

Bruun Larsen has appeared in Dortmund's friendlies against Manchester City, Benfica and Liverpool and even scored one of the BVB's goals in the 3-1 win against 'The Reds'.
