Borussia Dortmund sign highly rated left-back Prince Aning

Borussia Dortmund have completed the signing of young left-back Prince Aning, who will play for the U-23s next season.

After months of complicated negotiations, Borussia Dortmund have finally secured the signing of Prince Aning from Ajax. The young left-back joins BVB on a four year contract, and is set to play for the U-23s in the 3. Liga next season.

Borussia Dortmund were first linked with a move for Aning in January, and he even visited the club’s training ground with his family. The 18 year old has now finally sealed his move to Dortmund, and Ajax will receive a training compensation for his sale.

Prince Aning played for the Ajax youth team in the recently concluded season. He made 23 appearances for the Ajax U-18s, including five in the UEFA Youth League.

The Netherlands U-18s international made a strong impression on the BVB scouts when Dortmund and Ajax met in the UEFA Youth League group stage. And the Black and Yellows have now managed to complete his signing despite Ajax’s attempts to keep him at the club.

Aning is rated very highly in the Netherlands, and those in charge at Borussia Dortmund will certainly follow his development very closely in the coming months.

It has been a very busy summer for Borussia Dortmund II, and Prince Aning becomes their ninth signing of the summer transfer window. Aning will begin training with his new teammates in the coming days. He could make his competitive debut next month when Christian Preußer’s side go up against SV Wehen Wiesbaden on matchday one of the 2022/23 3. Liga season.
