Recent weeks have brought significant developments from Borussia Dortmund both on and off the pitch. Stuttgart's sporting director has confirmed that the club monitored Portuguese striker Fábio Silva a year ago. Meanwhile, Guinea international Serhou Guirassy reached a career milestone with his 100th appearance for Dortmund, earning praise from new signing Joey Veerman.

Fábio Silva scored against Paderborn and earned high praise from former player Dietmar Hamann, who described him as a technically complete striker. Stuttgart sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth confirmed on Sky90 that Stuttgart had monitored Fábio Silva a year ago.

However, no concrete transfer progress materialized at that time. Wohlgemuth stated that he is unaware of Dortmund's internal matters and cannot comment on the player's long-term potential. Reflecting on Silva's impressive current form with 4 goals in 5 official matches, Wohlgemuth acknowledged: "He is performing very well at the moment, and Borussia Dortmund is fortunate to have him."

Guinea international Guirassy has started the new season explosively, contributing 4 goals and 2 assists for a direct involvement in 6 goals. When asked whether he is in the best phase of his career, Guirassy responded affirmatively: "Indeed, the whole team is also performing brilliantly, and we keep winning."

Guirassy revealed that he only realized after the match on Tuesday that he had completed his 100th official appearance for Borussia Dortmund. "Starting the new season with this kind of performance is very significant, and we must maintain this momentum." He also discussed Dortmund's current league position above Bayern: "This situation is rare; last season we were never above Bayern even once. We must capitalize on this opportunity. Bayern are giants, but they also drop points, as happened against Schalke, and that is when we must take our chance."

Dutch midfielder Joey Veerman, who joined Dortmund from PSV Eindhoven this summer for over 20 million euros, was quickly impressed by his teammate Guirassy's abilities. In an interview with the official Bundesliga website, Veerman said: "I am very impressed with his abilities. I can confidently pass the ball to him; he is always active in receiving and linking play to drive the team's attacks forward—that is exactly how I like to play. And he is a deadly finisher in front of goal, a top striker."

Veerman also shared his first experience at Signal Iduna Park: "During the warm-up before the match, the fans sang loudly, and the atmosphere gave me goosebumps."
