Championship side West Bromwich Albion will be desperate to keep Jamie Soule amid reported interest from Bundesliga powerhouses Borussia Dortmund.

Borussia Dortmund are looking to raid English football again, with the Sun reporting that they are interested in snapping up West Bromwich Albion youngster Jamie Soule.

The Bundesliga title chasers famously snapped up a little known winger by the name of Jadon Sancho in 2017 and the former Manchester City starlet has gone from strength to strength in Germany, establishing himself as one of the most exciting forwards anywhere in European football.

Sancho, who made his senior England debut in the Autumn, has scored 12 goals and produced 19 assists in all competitions this season for Lucien Favre’s side.

Perhaps encouraged by one of the most inspired signings in recent Bundesliga history, the Sun claims Dortmund are keen to repeat the trick with Soule on their radar.

A prolific goal-scorer at U18 and U23 level, Soule has scored 14 goals in 26 games for West Brom’s reserves this season. The teenager is under contract at The Hawthorns until 2020.

And the Sun reports that Dortmund sent scouts to watch Soule during the FA Youth Cup semi-final against Manchester City in April. The striker scored in the game but failed to prevent the Baggies from crashing to a 4-2 defeat.

The report claims that Dortmund are ‘set to poach’ the West Brom forward but it remains to be seen if he will follow in Sancho’s footsteps.
