Bayern Munich captain Philipp Lahm has heaped praise on Borussia Dortmund’s Marco Reus, fuelling speculation that he may make the switch to the Bundesliga leaders in the summer.
Reus has been heavily linked with a move away from the club, with the likes of Bayern, Chelsea and Real Madrid all interested in acquiring the player’s signature.
Now Lahm has spoken out about the winger’s abilities and has claimed that he can improve any side, as he looks set to leave the club.
“I can’t say anything. I can only say he’s an excellent player who, without injury, would become a champion," said Lahm.
“A player like Reus will strengthen any team in the world”.
The 25-year-old is now a hot property around Europe and his €25 million release clause is expected to be triggered when the transfer market opens at the end of the season.
Dortmund have already sold a number of their high-profile stars to their Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich, including the departure of Robert Lewandowski, which has made them favourites to sign Reus.
However, Dortmund are also currently struggling in the German league this season and find themselves bottom of the table, with just three wins from 13 matches.
Despite their poor form, Lahm admitted that he has no advice to offer his rivals, due to the fact he has never been in a relegation battle.
“Advice? I can’t advise them anything because I luckily lack that experience. I never was in this situation."
