Borussia Dortmund seal bargain £20million deal for Europe’s hottest striker Paco Alcacer from Barcelona
Spanish star has NINE goals in five games since joining Germans on loan and will now commit to permanent transfer
PACO ALCACER will snub a move to the Premier League to stay at Borussia Dortmund on a permanent deal, according to reports.
The Barcelona forward joined the Germans on loan in August with a view to make the deal long-term.
Alcacer, 25, has enjoyed a brilliant start to life in the Bundesliga scoring seven goals in just four appearances.
And he continued his rich vein of form bagging a brace in Spain’s 4-1 thrashing of Wales in Cardiff.
Alcacer came off the bench to score a hat-trick inside 30 minutes as Dortmund beat Augsburg 4-3.

And Dortmund boss Lucien Favre has seen enough and has ordered the club to trigger the bargain £20million fee agreed with the Catalan giants, claim .
The attacker has already agreed a deal with Dortmund until 2023.
Alcacer joined Barcelona in 2016 from Valencia but never really got the chance to impress at the Nou Camp due to the fierce competition for places in attack.
He managed seven goals in 23 outings for the club last season, his last for the club coming in a 2-2 draw at Celta Vigo in April.
