Borussia Dortmund has signed Swiss goalkeeper Gregory Kobel from Bundesliga rival Stuttgart

MAY 31, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Joins Dortmund Kobel moved to Borussia Dortmund from Stuttgart on a five-year contract, his new club announced Monday.

Impact Kobel conceded 54 goals in 33 starts during the 2020/21 season, but played in a team that focused more on its attacking strength than its defensive stability. Goalkeepers who have multiple seasons under their belt as starters seldom agree to long contracts without seeking out a starting job, so one of Marwin Hitz or Roman Burki may have to make way for Kobel's arrival. This doesn't mean Kobel will start initially but hanging onto three goalkeepers who have started in the Bundesliga likely isn't good for business or team chemistry.
