Yan Couto
23-Year-Old
Borussia Dortmund
Bundesliga
Assists from cross in win
Couto assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 3-0 victory against Union Berlin.
ANALYSIS
Couto provided the in-swinging ball from the right-flank that resulted in Borussia Dortmund's first of three goals as they would punish Union Berlin in a 3-0 triumph. From his role on the right side of the midfield, the veteran created two chances and also added two tackles (two won) and one clearance to the team's defensive effort across his 90 minutes of play. After being limited to just 21 appearances (eight starts) in his inaugural season with Dortmund, Couto has played every minute of Dortmund's first two league fixtures.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could end up in Germany
Manchester City are ready to part ways with Couto and Dortmund could be his destination, according to The Daily Mail.
ANALYSIS
Couto is not expected to have a role at Manchester City either now or in the future, mainly due to the struggles he's faced defensively during his stint with Girona. Dortmund are interested in landing him if he becomes available, and they could pay up to £25 million for the 22-year-old.
