The two Premier League clubs are set to miss out on the Portuguese star who looks set to join the Bundesliga side this summer

Borussia Dortmund seem to be leading the race to sign the highly-rated young Portuguese full-back Raphael Guerreiro.

According to the German media, the Bundesliga giants and the 22-year-old have agreed personal terms, meaning the player is likely to make the move from Lorient this summer. 

However, it is believed Dortmund will have to up their offer for the Ligue 1 side to part with the left-back, with their initial €12million (£9.3million) bid being rejected.

The player is set to represent Portugal at Euro 2016, and if he impresses it is likely that Lorient will up his price even further. 

Guerreiro has one year remaining on his contract so is likely to leave this summer, with Lorient wanting to make sure they cash out and not risk losing him on a free next summer.
