Leeds United could reportedly lose 16-year-old midfield talent Samuel Alker as Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen step up their interest in the youngster.

Alker, a technically gifted attacking midfielder, is highly regarded at the West Yorkshire club and has already become a mainstay in Leeds’ Under-18s squad.

According to The Daily Mail, the youngster has caught the attention of several Bundesliga clubs, with Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen particularly interested.

Leeds are pushing to keep Alker, however, and have offered him a professional contract that will come into effect when he turns 17.

He is yet to put pen to paper on the deal he’s been offered as he weighs his options.
