BREAKING NEWS: Dortmund complete Rode signing

Sebastian Rode has swapped Bayern Munich for Borussia Dortmund, the midfielder signing a four-year deal at Signal Iduna Park.

Rode arrived in Dortmund to put the finishing touches to his move earlier on Monday, and BVB have now confirmed the 25-year-old put pen to paper for an undisclosed fee after completing his medical.

The former Eintracht Frankfurt man said: "I am a childhood BVB fan and therefore am really looking forward to playing for my favourite club. 

"Thomas Tuchel is a top-class coach. I am looking forward to the new challenge and my first home game in black and yellow in the Signal Iduna Park."

The Bundesliga champions' chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge explained: "Sebastian Rode asked us free him from his contract because he sees the opportunity to play regularly for Dortmund."
