2026-08-11

According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Newcastle United have shown strong interest in Dortmund's chief scout Sebastian Krüger. Meanwhile, other Premier League and European clubs are also keeping an eye on this highly promising scout.

Sebastian Krüger has played a crucial role in Dortmund's transfer dealings, successfully bringing in players such as Haaland, Bellingham, and Sancho, generating approximately €300 million in transfer income for the club. His sharp judgement in the transfer market and strong relationships have made significant contributions to Dortmund's development.

Last summer, Krüger was actively involved in the transfer that brought Jobe Bellingham from Sunderland to Dortmund, continuing the club's strategy of successfully signing elite English players. Over the years, he has built a close relationship with the Bellingham brothers, having identified their potential early on and playing a key role in the transfer negotiations.
