Is Borussia Dortmund's Nico Schlotterbeck Germany's best centre-back?

Why were BVB desperate to keep him when Julian Brandt, Niklas Süle and Salih Özcan have been allowed to leave? We take a closer look.

On the face of it, the decision must have been an easy from Dortmund's perspective. Centre-backs who are comfortable in possession, can build from the back, are robust in the challenges and offer a goalscoring threat are unicorns in the game. The fact that he is also naturally left-footed adds extra sprinkles and rainbows.

But it is not just that Schlotterbeck has those attributes, it is that he excels at them too.
