BVB eye up Swedish wonderkid from AIK Solna | OneFootball

Just 16 years old – and already playing in the Allsvenskan. Kevin Boubacar Filling is making waves in Sweden's top league. Borussia Dortmund is said to have taken notice of the AIK Solna prodigy.

This season, Filling made his debut for AIK in the Allsvenskan. At the end of June 2025, he appeared in the top division for the first time and immediately made it onto the scoresheet in a 3-0 win against IFK Göteborg. This was followed by eight more appearances and one goal. He has also played 15 times for various Swedish junior national teams (scoring four goals).

According to Africafoot, Borussia Dortmund is interested in the youngster with roots in Senegal. However, the promising talent is also on the radar of Manchester United and VfB Stuttgart. AIK has set the transfer fee at around eight million euros and also values a share in any future resale.

Man Utd and VfB as Competitors

Manchester United is reported to have thrown its hat into the ring first, according to the report. But BVB has entered the race for the center forward, who is considered the "new Alexander Isak." The current FC Liverpool striker moved from AIK to the Black and Yellows in January 2017 for 8.6 million euros.

However, the Swede didn't settle at Borussia. After just 13 appearances with two goal involvements, he left again. Via Willem II, San Sebastián, and Newcastle United, Isak ended up with the Reds last summer for 145 million euros.

Whether Filling will follow in Isak's footsteps is, of course, still completely uncertain. His contract with the twelve-time national champion runs until June 30, 2028. An earlier move, however, is not ruled out.

The 16-year-old is considered one of the great young hopes of Swedish football. Due to his heritage, Filling could also play for the Senegal national team.
