Four Players To Watch Out For in Dortmund's Next Title Fixtures

DFB Borussia Dortmund, one of the most storied football clubs in Europe, has been playing in Germany's top league for over half a century. The club has consistently made it to the finals of the German cup competitions, as well as being one of the best teams in European competition every season. However, this year's campaign promises much success and the Borussia Dortmund squad are very excited about the upcoming tournament. Here are four players to watch out for this season:

Nou Sakho, CB/RB: This versatile defender was a vital member of the Borussia Dortmund team last year that made it to the final of the Champions League, as well as winning the DFB Cup. Sakho's versatility is one of the things that makes him so popular with both the supporters and the manager, and he is also one of the best central defenders in Europe. Expect Sakho to play either as a left back or right back for the rest of the season, depending on the opponent. He will also be the captain of the side, meaning he will be able to call upon the best in him to get his side going.

Sokratis Papastathopoulos, WR/CB: Papastathopoulos came from Greece and signed for Borussia Dortmund this summer. His signing is an absolute steal, considering that he is considered one of the best young, wide players in Europe. This will be his first season at a new club and he will need to adapt quickly to a new culture and a new language, as well as a new style of play. Expect Papastathopoulos to get off on the right foot in order to get into the side of the greats and make it through to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Mario Gotze, ST/RW: Gotze is another member of the Borussia Dortmund team that will be looking to make the semi-finals of this year's Champions League. As was seen with Sakho, he has adapted to a new way of playing and he will have to stay in the same vein this year if he is to be able to claim his place as one of the best players in the world. The main problem is that the club is expected to challenge Chelsea for the title this season, meaning that they must play against one of the biggest names in the game each week. So, if the likes of Papastathopoulos and Gotze are unable to impress, expect Gotze to shine for Borussia Dortmund this season.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, ST: The Gabonese has signed an outrageous transfer from Saint Etienne to join up with Borussia Dortmund, with the Cameroonian forward making the move after helping them win the French league last season. The Gabones will be expecting Aubameyang to perform at a high level this season, but the question is whether he can cope with the pressure of playing against the top sides. He is still very young and some of his moves are quite wild and inexperienced. Expect his performances to suffer this season if he is not able to get used to the speed of the Premier League, so expect him to score goals in bunches and to score them in big games.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is an absolute handful when it comes to scoring goals and providing assists. Watch out for this young forward this season.
