This is the moment Borussia Dortmund star Julian Brandt performs a daring backflip into the sea from the top of a yacht during a luxury holiday with Arsenal and Tottenham target Kai Havertz.

Brandt, 23, is currently on holiday on the Spanish Balearic Island of Formentera – located just south of the famous party island of Ibiza.

Brandt, a winger who recently completed his transfer from Bayer Leverkusen to Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund in a reported 25-million-EUR (22.4-million-GBP) deal, was joined on the holiday by his former Leverkusen teammate Kai Havertz, 20.

A video shows Brandt clearly enjoying his Spanish adventure as he and Havertz rented a yacht to tour around the beautiful Formentera coastline.

He shows his leaping ability by climbing onto the roof of the ship and making a daring backflip straight into the sea.

Brandt himself thought the jump was perfect, as he wrote on social media: “10 out of 10?”

Brandt’s fans seemed to like the video although some warned him to be careful with such stunts.

Netizen ‘RaffoBert’ wrote: “Don’t break anything before you start the training with Dortmund.”

‘Der Lehrer’ wrote: “Nine out of 10 for the excellent posture. Two out of 10 for the risk of a possible cruciate ligament tear.”

Borussia Dortmund, who finished second in the Bundesliga two points behind Bayern Munich, will start training for the new season on 3rd July.

Brandt has won 25 caps for the German national side.

Havertz, who has been described as one of the biggest Bundesliga talents, has been linked himself with a massive 90-million-EUR (80.6-million-GBP) move to Dortmund’s rivals Bayern Munich, although Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are also reportedly monitoring the midfielder.
