Raphael Guerreiro has completed a move to Borussia Dortmund from Lorient, agreeing a four-year deal at Signal Iduna Park.

"We are very happy that he chose Borussia Dortmund."
left-back Guerreiro is at Euro 2016 with Portugal and played the full 90 minutes of Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Iceland in Group F.
