Borussia Dortmund have signed Real Madrid midfielder Reinier Jesus.

The former Flamengo starlet moves to Dortmund on a two-season loan after arriving in Madrid in January.

All forms have been signed and Reinier is taking part in BVB training under coach Lucien Favre today.

The transfer is for a two-season loan without a permanent option. However, there does exist a break clause at the end of the first season.

Favre said, "He can play both as a false nine and on the wings, I don't know if he could do it as an '8' in a 4-1-4-1. He is very young and our attack already seems like a high school. From what I've seen I can say that he is very good in attack and finishing. At 18 he has a lot to improve.

"You have to be patient with the youngsters."
