Schlotterbeck hails impact of "top-class" Gadou in Dortmund
Nico Schlotterbeck has singled out Borussia Dortmund 's summer signing Joane Gadou for praise after a strong start to life at the club.
In an interview with the Westphalian outfit's media, the German defender said "the new signings are all top-class."

"Just thinking about Joane Gadou playing alongside me in central defense, that's just top-class," Schlotterbeck said with a smile.
Having joined from RB Salzburg for €20million in the summer, Gadou immediately established himself in Niko Kovač's back three.
The 19-year-old Frenchman, together with Waldemar Anton , helped keep two clean sheets in three Bundesliga games thus far.
"I'm very happy and I also have the feeling that a lot is possible with this team. It's a great feeling.
"Above all, it's lifted my spirits again," said Schlotterbeck, touching on his comeback last Saturday in a 3-0 win over SC Paderborn.
Tomorrow, BVB's task gets tougher, making the daunting trip away to VfB Stuttgart for their last test before the international break arrives.
