A statement on Dortmund's official website read: "Borussia Dortmund have signed the 97-times capped South Korea international Young-Pyo Lee from English Premier League side Tottenham."

Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp has chosen to bring in Lee after regular left-back Dede was ruled out for six months with a knee ligament injury.

The Brazilian suffered the injury in his side's opening match of the new season, a 3-2 win at Bayer Leverkusen.
