Anselmino’s arrival addresses the team’s tense situation in defense, with injuries that have depleted the squad. The defender, who will wear the number 28 jersey, successfully passed the medical examination and could debut this weekend at Signal Iduna Park against Union Berlin. “I am very excited about Borussia Dortmund and will give everything to succeed with this great club and its fantastic fans”, declared Anselmino.
Lars Ricken, general manager of Borussia Dortmund, explained that the signing was necessary due to the absences of Emre Can, Nico Schlotterbeck, and Niklas Süle. “Aaron Anselmino has already gained experience in the first division of his home country and has great potential. It is no coincidence that Chelsea FC offered him a very long-term contract last summer”, stated Ricken, highlighting the potential of the young Argentine.
