Like half the Bundesliga: BVB eye up Hoffenheim talent | OneFootball

With Julien Duranville and Cole Campbell, Borussia Dortmund has two promising talents in its ranks who both feel most comfortable on the offensive flanks and are currently suffering from the fact that there is actually no place for classic wingers in coach Niko Kovac's 3-4-2-1 formation. The duo is considering leaving, not least due to the lack of prospects, while BVB has apparently set its sights on another offensive player who is at home on the right wing.

According to the "WAZ," BVB is monitoring Ayoube Amaimouni-Echghouyab, who contributed seven goals and nine assists in 28 games in the Regionalliga Südwest last season to the promotion of TSG Hoffenheim's second team and is now stirring up the 3rd league this season. In 14 matches in the third league, Amaimouni-Echghouyab, who was once sorted out in the youth ranks at Arminia Bielefeld and landed in Hoffenheim via SpVgg Erkenschwick in the summer of 2024, has recorded eight goals and three assists.

At least five other Bundesliga clubs interested

With this record, the 20-year-old has caught the attention of numerous clubs, who also know that the Moroccan born in Spain only has a contract until June 2026 and could thus be signed for free next season.

VfL Wolfsburg, Bayer Leverkusen, VfB Stuttgart, Hamburger SV, and 1. FC Köln from the Bundesliga, Dortmund's regional rivals VfL Bochum and FC Schalke 04 from the second league, as well as foreign clubs like Como 1907 from Italy and FC Brugge from Belgium, are said to have Amaimouni-Echghouyab on their radar.

However, TSG Hoffenheim is, of course, also aware of the youngster's quality and potential. The club from Kraichgau is therefore working on a contract extension. At the moment, however, it is still completely open where Amaimouni-Echghouyab's path will lead in a good half a year.
