According to a report in the Daily Mail, the German club are pursuing the talented midfielder ahead of his 17th birthday and could make a move to sign him.
Leeds must keep Sam Alker
Leeds won’t want to lose a talented young player like him. They have recently been successful in developing several young players and are looking to build a strong team for the future. Losing Alkar will be a blow to them. Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen are also keeping an eye on his development.
The player has been offered a professional contract by Leeds but has not yet signed. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop. The midfielder cannot officially sign with a German club until he turns 18, but Leeds hope to persuade him to sign a professional contract.
