SEBASTIAN HALLER is being lined up to replace Erling Haaland at Borussia Dortmund, according to reports.
Haller, 27, has been on red hot form for Eredivisie league leaders Ajax this season.
33 goals in 41 games this season for the Dutch giants has put him back into Europe's elite group of strikers.
Dortmund may face competition from Manchester United as SunSport revealed how incoming boss Erik ten Hag wanted Haller as his first signing.
But BILD report that the former Hammer will "be the new Haaland" at Signal Iduna Park.
Haller was far from any version of Haaland at West Ham, finding the net just 14 times in 54 matches.

They took a huge 50 per cent hit on the flop, selling him for just £20m.
But a refreshed Haller could be just what Dortmund need to forget about losing 30-goals-a-season Haaland.
