Live broadcast on October 23rd According to the British media "Daily Mail" report, Dortmund and Leverkusen are interested in 16-year-old midfielder Sam Alke in Leeds United.
According to the report, 16-year-old Sam-Ark is a skilled and technologically excellent 10th player who has become the leader of the Leeds U18 league and has been selected for the English youth team.
Leeds United have offered the much-regarded rising star a professional contract, but he has not yet agreed to sign it and he will not turn 17 until March next year. While European clubs have realized the potential to sign him, scouts from Bundesliga teams Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen are paying special attention to his potential.
The England U17 national is free to join overseas clubs, but can wait until he reaches the age of 18 in 2027 before signing an official contract in Germany or other overseas teams. The team is monitored by long-term staff in the English club's youth training camps and can usually provide a faster path to first-line football.
Leeds United signed his first professional contract with young striker Harry Gray earlier this week. The 17-year-old is following in the footsteps of many members of his family who have played for Leeds: his grandfather Frank, great-uncle Eddie, father Andy and brother Archie, now at Tottenham, all played for the club. It is reported that he has agreed to a contract until 2028.
Meanwhile, team manager Falk is waiting for the results of multiple players' physical check-ups to prepare for Friday's key Premier League match against West Ham United. At present, Leeds' squad has been affected by injuries, Ampado and Strike's condition is significantly worse, while Okaforo and Neonto have not yet returned to the state of full participation in first-line team training: Okaforo has an intravenous muscle injury, while Neonto is recovering from helium surgery.
