5 players who achieved fame after joining Borussia Dortmund

German behemoth Borussia Dortmund's idiosyncrasy to metamorphose unknown talents into world beaters are oblivious to none. Many such unknown talents in the past built their identities after their joining the club, before eventually getting pillaged by the rich boys of the game.Producing some of the best talents among the current generation of footballers, here are 5 such players who attained proclamation after playing for Dortmund.

#1 Pierre Emerick Aubameyang

France born Gabon international Aubameyang was signed by the Ruhr side in the summer of 2013, following the departure of Mario Gotze to Bayern and resoundingly announced himself when he bagged a stunning hat-trick in his league debut.

After some nugatory spells in France the 25-year-old joined the German outfit for a modest €13 million and hit the ground running immediately.

Blistering pace that is redolent to the Marvel action figure, flash and grit that is evocative of a grey hound, Aubameyang boasts the ability to be adeft with both the feet and also racked-up a convincing 16 strikes in 48 appearances in his debut season.

His versatility, propensity to play on either of the flanks and lead the line when the situation demands, makes him a valuable asset to Dortmund and it is persuant to these qualities that the Gabonese international has carved an identity for himself.
