Transfer coup in sight: BVB keen on Israeli attacking star | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund are looking for new attacking reinforcements. It seems the Black and Yellows have found what they are looking for in Belgium. Anan Khalaili (21) of Union Saint-Gilloise is reportedly on BVB’s radar.

According to information from Il Mattino, Dortmund have shown concrete interest in the Israeli international Khalaili. The club from Westphalia are said to have been scouting the attacker for some time and view him as an ideal addition to their frontline. However, BVB are not without competition in the race for the youngster.

According to the report, Napoli have also signaled strong interest in Khalaili. At the moment, though, Borussia are considered the favorites, as the Italians are reluctant to meet the financial demands from Belgium. To let the winger leave this summer, Saint-Gilloise are demanding a base fee of at least €20 million. Inter Milan are also said to be monitoring the 21-year-old closely.

Quick down the flank

The 16-time international is coming off a strong season with 52 appearances for the traditional Belgian club. As a regular starter in the domestic league as well as the Champions League, he particularly impressed on the right side of midfield. His tally stands at six goals and six assists.

Another argument in favor of the wide player is his pace, with UEFA recording a top speed of 33.37 km/h. The Israeli’s contract with Saint-Gilloise runs until the summer of 2028. However, the club can extend it by one additional season through a clause.

Thanks to his natural speed, Khalaili is tailor-made for quick transition situations. He also stands out for his close ball control and likes to take on defenders one-on-one. But the Israeli does not neglect his defensive duties either and has strengths in pressing and winning back possession.
