Franck Ribery: 'Lewandowski better than Gotze'

Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery has said that he believes Robert Lewandowski would be a better signing than his Borussia Dortmund teammate Mario Gotze.

Gotze is one of the most-wanted prospects in Europe, with Bayern Munich being one of the clubs continually linked with the playmaker.

However, Ribery feels that the Polish striker would be a better option to bring to the Allianz Arena.

"For me, Lewandowski is more valuable than Gotze," the Frenchman told Sport Bild magazine.

"Gotze is more of a central player, not for out wide. Lewandowski is a great striker.

"When I look at Dortmund, it is Robert Lewandowski who catches my eye."

The Pole has scored 12 goals for Dortmund this season.
