Torino striker Ciro Immobile is set to join Borussia Dortmund on Thursday for a fee of €19.5 million.

Rumours have been swirling for weeks regarding a possible move to the German giants and it appears as though the deal is set to finally go through.

Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Torino and Juventus, both of whom co-own the Italian striker, will divide the €19.5m transfer fee with the 24-year-old set to put pen-to-paper on a five year contract worth €2m a season.

Immobile is coming off a prolific season with the Granata after scoring 22 goals in 33 appearances to become the Capocannoniere of the Serie A last campaign.

The Italian will replace outgoing striker Robert Lewandowski at Dortmund as the Polish international is set to move to Bayern Munich this summer.
