"Borussia Dortmund are now in the race for Kevin #Filling. Sebastian Kehl wants the 16 y/o striker gem. #BVB Manchester United are still pushing to sign Filling, but no agreement has been reached with any club yet. #MUFC Filling could leave AIK as early as this winter. This is not the first time we've seen Filling linked with Man Utd, as the same source reported a few weeks ago that there were concrete negotiations going on."
"This doesn't look like being a straightforward deal for MUFC, however, as Dortmund will surely be seen as another attractive destination for a talented young player like this. Kevin Filling celebrates a goal for AIK Can Man United strengthen for the future with Kevin Filling deal? United haven't had the best recruitment strategy in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era, but deals like this are perhaps a sign of things improving."
Florian Plettenberg reports Borussia Dortmund have entered the race to sign 16-year-old AIK forward Kevin Filling, with Sebastian Kehl showing interest. Manchester United remain actively pursuing the youngster but have not reached an agreement with AIK or any club. Filling could depart AIK during the upcoming January transfer window. Previous reports indicated concrete negotiations between Filling and Manchester United in recent weeks. Dortmund's involvement complicates the move, offering another appealing pathway for the highly-rated talent. Securing a young prospect like Filling fits the strategy of capturing emerging players before their market value rises.
