Borussia Dortmund 'set' to move for Alex Valle amid Como success

But his loan move was cut short in January and he moved again on loan to Serie A club Como.

He won praise from Como manager Cesc Fabregas this week for his performances since moving from Barca.

The former Arsenal, Chelsea and Barcelona star said: "Alex is a very young player, only 20 years old, and he has a lot of room for improvement.

"He's been a very consistent performer for me."

And Borussia Dortmund are reportedly set to try and sign Valle, who has a £5 million release clause in his contract.
