Rumours about Ayodele Thomas – BVB reportedly chasing attacking talent | OneFootball

The winter transfer window is approaching, and with it, almost traditionally, the time for speculation—of which there has been plenty regarding Borussia Dortmund in recent days. Many of these rumors likely have little solid foundation, but they still spark discussions for now. Among them is the interest in Ayodele Thomas from PSV Eindhoven, as reported by Turkish transfer insider Ekrem Konur.

Like Eintracht Frankfurt, Club Brugge, and RSC Anderlecht, as well as Ajax Amsterdam, Feyenoord Rotterdam, and AZ Alkmaar—three Dutch rivals of PSV—BVB is also said to have set their sights on Thomas.

The 18-year-old attacking player, who feels most comfortable on the left wing, has so far only played for Eindhoven’s second team. In the second-tier Keuken Kampioen Divisie, Thomas has recorded three goals and six assists in 18 appearances this season—performances that have clearly not gone unnoticed elsewhere.

Eindhoven wants to extend

However, Eindhoven is well aware of the potential of the Dutch U19 international with Nigerian roots. PSV is therefore working on extending Thomas’s contract, which expires at the end of the season—though it is unclear how successful they will be or when a decision will be made.

For optimal development, the player’s side is likely to place the greatest value on as much playing time as possible. In Dortmund, these opportunities seem limited, partly due to the competition in the attacking positions and even more so because coach Niko Kovac does not play with traditional wingers.
