Borussia Dortmund threw down the gauntlet to defending champions Bayern Munich with a 4-0 drubbing of Borussia Moenchengladbach on the opening weekend of the new Bundesliga season.

Georgian international midfielder Jaba Kankava has signed for Reims for three seasons with an option for a fourth from Ukrainian first division side Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, the French Ligue 1 club confirmed.

Germany's Augsburg confirmed they had sold Ghana international defender Abdul Rahman Baba to Premier League Chelsea for a reported fee of 19.8 million euros (£14 million, $21.9m).
