Dutch-Ghanaian left-back Prince Aning of B. Dortmund II is being linked with a move to Dutch side Telstar, with the 22-year-old’s future in Germany under scrutiny as speculation grows around his contract situation.
The Amsterdam-born defender, who holds both Netherlands and Ghana nationalities, is currently valued at €175k according to Transfermarkt, a relatively modest fee that could facilitate a low-risk deal for the Eerste Divisie outfit. With no publicly listed contract expiry date at Borussia Dortmund’s second team, reports suggest there is scope for the player either to move for a small fee or potentially approach free-agent status if his deal has quietly run down.
Aning, a left-footed defender standing at 1.76m, has been operating in Germany’s Regionalliga West with Dortmund II, wearing the number 39 shirt. Developed in a high-intensity, possession-based environment, he has been used primarily at left-back but is known for his attacking intent from deep and his ability to progress the ball on the overlap.
The latest rumour, logged on 24 June 2026 with the probability of the move still marked as “?”, links him with Telstar, who compete in the Dutch professional leagues. A return to the Netherlands would represent a homecoming for Aning, who was born on 23 April 2004 in Amsterdam and came through the Dutch system before moving to Germany.
Recent appearances for Dortmund II in the Regionalliga West have kept him in the shop window, with his performances noted for energy on the flank and defensive discipline in a league known for its physical demands.
If completed, a switch to Telstar could offer Aning regular first‑team football in his home country and a platform to rebuild his reputation, potentially using the move as a springboard to higher levels in Dutch or European football.
