RB Leipzig is currently the leading contender to sign 18-year-old Dutch-Nigerian winger Ayodele Thomas from PSV, where his contract is expiring. The Dutch club recently attempted to keep the player, with the hope of signing him to a new three or four-year deal, but it now seems improbable that he will extend his stay. Due to his contract situation, Leipzig considers Thomas to be a bargain who is available for a modest transfer fee this winter. Although it is said that Thomas is enjoying his time in Eindhoven, Leipzig has reportedly made an offer that is very difficult to refuse.
There is a significant amount of interest in the forward, but Leipzig is close to signing him to a long-term contract in Germany. While it is unknown if PSV will make a final attempt to keep him, it is felt around the club that they are preparing for his departure. The Netherlands U19 international, who has 7 caps and 2 goals for the team, has registered 3 goals and 6 assists in 18 league appearances for PSV's U21 team this season. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €650k.
