Borussia Dortmund sensation Youssoufa Moukoko has impressed in his short career so far and that has only increased over the course of this season so far.
The German has enjoyed a meteoric rise in recent years, making his first-team debut at the age of 16 and has gotten a bigger first-team role this season.
Moukoko has been attracting interest from some of Europe’s top clubs in recent times, including the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona, and a move could be on the cards soon.

The 17-year-old has lots of options for a possible transfer, with Barcelona and Real Madrid also in the race, and the two English sides will want to get their business done early.
Moukoko is only likely to get better and there will be strong competition for him come the end of the season which may be a problem for any interested sides.
