Borussia Dortmund are interested in signing talented young Leeds United midfielder Sam Alker.
One report per Daily mail claim that the German club are monitoring the talented midfielder ahead of his 17th birthday, and that they could make a move for him.
Leeds must keep Sam Alker
Leeds won’t want to lose a talented young player like him. They have done well to develop some young players in recent times and they are looking to build a formidable squad for the future. Losing Alker would be a blow to them. In the meantime, Bayer Leverkusen is also keeping an eye on his development.
The player has been offered a professional contract by Leeds, but has not yet signed it. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop. The midfielder can only officially sign for a club in Germany when he turns 18. Leeds are hoping to convince him to sign a professional contract with them.

Alker is a winner
Alker can operate as an attacking midfielder as well as a central midfielder. He is a technically gifted midfielder with vision and flair in his game. With the right guidance, he could develop into a key player in the Leeds United first team.
It is no surprise that German clubs are keen to secure a signature. He would be a solid long-term investment for both clubs. The chance to join clubs like Dortmund and Leverkusen could be quite exciting for the young midfielder. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop.
He has been a key player for Leeds under-18s this season, and has also been capped by England at youth level. Leeds must do everything they can to keep him at the club for as long as possible.
