According to BILD, Feyenoord Rotterdam and RSC Anderlecht are among the clubs interested in Borussia Dortmund talent Elias Benkara.

The 18-year-old's contract is set to finally expire this summer, however the Westphalian giants would ideally like to extend it.

Benkara himself isn't actually opposed to the prospect of remaining at the Bundesliga club, but currently he lacks a future at Dortmund. 

While fellow 18-year-old Luca Reggiani is now a regular member of the first team, Benkara is still waiting for his debut.

The former German youth international still has hopes of playing in the World Cup, having opted to represent Algeria at international level. 

So far this season, Benkara has made a total of 17 appearances for the U-23 side, providing one assist while helping to keep 4 clean sheets.
