Ciro Immobile has admitted that he struggled to settle at Borussia Dortmund last season having made a big-money move from Torino.

After finishing as Serie A's top scorer in the 2013-14 campaign, the 25-year-old joined Dortmund on a long-term contract.

The Italian managed just three league goals for the German outfit, however, and was allowed to join Sevilla on a season-long loan this summer.

Immobile has admitted that he 'expected more from his teammates' as he struggled to adapt to life in Germany.

"[We received] no help, neither me nor my family. We must share the blame. I did not know German and I expected more help from my teammates. But hey, you cannot expect to change the culture of a country," he told El Pais.

"You feel bad if you're not used to a certain lifestyle. And German is an impossible language to learn."

Immobile is expected to feature for his new club on Tuesday when Sevilla face Barcelona in the European Super Cup.
