Julian Duranville, 16, nicknamed 'The Lightning', is one of the most promising talents in the world. And Bundesliga is about to see the light...

The second-most expensive kid ever! That's the story of Julian Duranville, RSC Anderlecht's golden boy, who has just made a move that won't go unnoticed.

The 16-year-old teenager has signed a deal with German giants Borussia Dortmund. He's a versatile winger, playing successfully on both flanks. And his price tag? Somewhere around 12.500.000 euros.

"The Lightning", as Duranville is nicknamed in Belgium, is one of the most prominent talents to emerge in football there. He grew up at Anderlecht, where he spent ten years, and made his debut for the first team at the finish last season. This season, he has made only six league appearances due to injury, but that was enough for Borussia's scouts, who had followed him for a long time.

"We are very pleased that Julian signed for us. He is a fast and technically gifted winger with massive potential. We want to develop that potential in the upcoming years and take it to a higher level, as we have done with some other young players in previous years," said Borussia director Sebastian Kehl during the Belgian's official presentation.
