Fans of Usain Bolt could soon be seeing the legendary sprinter on a football pitch as he prepares for trials with Borussia Dortmund in March.

Borussia Dortmund have completed the signing of Sergio Gomez on a long-term contract from Barcelona.

During a busy last 48 hours of the January transfer window, Dortmund announced the signing of the 17-year-old Barcelona player for a "set fee," reported to be his €3 million release clause.

"Sergio Gomez is undoubtedly one of the best players of his age in the world," Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc told the club's official website.

"We've been interested in him for some time and are happy that he has decided to join Borussia Dortmund despite offers from many top European clubs."

The Spain youth international will join his new teammates in training next week, but "will get match practice in our under-19s until the summer," Zorc said.
