Fulham set to capture Barrios

German club Borussia Dortmund have confirmed that they still have buisness to do in the transfer market with reports in Germany claiming that they are ready to sell striker Lucas Barrios, a former Arsenal target, to Premiership side Fulham.

The 27 year old Barrios has fallen down the pecking order at Dortmund this season, but the Paraguayan is a proven goalscorer with over 30 goals in his previous two seasons with the German side, enough to spark the interest of Arsenal and Chelsea last season,  although Dortmund were adamant they would not sell.

Manager Jurgen Klopp told reporters that the club were in “Advance” stages with a deal to take Barrios to Fulham for around £7 million near completion.
