BVB eye up Leeds talent Samuel Alker | OneFootball

Jude and Jobe Bellingham, Jadon Sancho, or Jamie Gittens: Borussia Dortmund has a knack for talents from the island. Is Samuel Alker (16) from Leeds United the next jewel from England to join BVB?

The youngster is part of the U18 team of the Whites, but in his seven appearances this season, he was only in the starting lineup once. Alker is considered a technically strong midfielder who prefers the number ten position. He has played six junior international matches so far, representing England's U15 and U16 teams.

According to information from the Daily Mail, Leeds would like to keep the highly talented teenager. His contract runs until 2027. Afterward, according to the plans of the promoted team to the Premier League, he is supposed to move up to the professional squad. However, Alker has not yet agreed to this. Therefore, he might leave the club on a free transfer after the contract expires.

Leeds coach with BVB background

According to the report, BVB is closely monitoring the development of the midfield jewel. However, the Black and Yellows are not alone in their interest. Bayer Leverkusen also has Alker on their list. A move abroad for the young Englishman is only possible once he turns 18 – from March 13, 2027.

With Daniel Farke (48) on the sidelines, the Whites have a man with a Dortmund background. From 2015 to 2017, he coached Borussia Dortmund's second team. In July 2023, he took over the Premier League relegated Leeds United and led them back to the top tier as champions last summer. Currently, he ranks 16th with his team.
