Borussia Dortmund are interested in signing the talented young Leeds United midfielder Sam Alker.

A report via Daily Mail claims that the German club is following the talented midfielder ahead of his 17th birthday, and they could look to make a move for him.

Leeds will not want to lose a talented young player like him. They have done well to groom several young players recently, and they are looking to build a formidable squad for the future. Losing Alker would be a blow for them. Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen are keeping tabs on his development as well.

The player has been offered a professional contract by Leeds, but he has not signed it yet. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. The midfielder will not be able to officially sign for a club in Germany until he turns 18. Leeds will be hoping to convince him to sign a professional contract with them.

Alker is capable of operating as an attacking midfielder as well as a central midfielder. He is a technically gifted midfielder with vision and flair in his game. He could develop into an important first-team player for Leeds United with the right guidance.
