He signed a four-year deal, after scoring 32 goals in 36 appearances in all competitions for the Dutch club last season.

Haller spent one and a half seasons at West Ham, making over 50 appearances, before the Hammers sold him to Ajax for £20.25m in January 2021. Dortmund quote tweeted Haller’s message and said: ‘Always a smile on his face…get well soon Seb!’
