Sporting director Michael Zorc said:

Mo Dahoud is a highly talented and exciting player in central midfield, who we have been watching intensively for several years. He has already demonstrated that he can play at the top level.

Dortmund have reportedly agreed to pay €10 million (£8.6m) for Dahoud, whose contract was due to expire in one year.

He has played 19 Bundesliga matches this season, scoring one goal and getting four assists.

Gladbach boss Dieter Hecking said:

Except for FC Bayern, all clubs have to give up their players. Borussia has proven in recent years that it can compensate for such losses.
