Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund are considering a summer move for new Ireland cap Jake O'Brien. The Cork-born defender is attracting interest from around Europe after a breakthrough season with Lyon in Ligue 1, and the Irish Independent understands that he is now on Dortmund's radar. Speculation around Mats Hummels' future has led to Dortmund being linked with several centre halves and the 6ft 6inch O'Brien has been identified as a player of potential. While O'Brien has only completed one season in France after a permanent switch from Crystal Palace, Lyon rebuffed interest in January. He made an impressive Irish bow off the bench for the second half of the 2-1 victory over Hungary earlier this week.
