The latest Borussia Dortmund starlet is set to be moved into their first-team following his prolific form at youth level.
Youssoufa Moukoko has scored an incredible 31 goals in 18 games for Dortmund’s Under-17 team and also earned a call-up to the Germany Under-19 squad last week.

Youssoufa Moukoko has been prolific for Borussia Dortmund Under-17s
The 15-year-old has been one to watch for the Bundesliga club for some time and some may remember him for his goalscoring feats last season.
He broke the record for the most goals scored in a single Under-17 Bunedesliga season with 50 in just 28 games while he was still only 14.
The striker is well accustomed to playing in teams well above his years as he made his Germany Under-16 debut when he was just 12, while he is also the youngster-ever scorer in the UEFA Youth League.
Moukoko’s sensational form has understandably caught the attention of Dortmund boss Lucien Favre and he revealed the plans to integrate him in the first-team before the end of the season.

Favre said: “We had a plan with him, but I can’t say exactly when he’ll be with us. Maybe in March, but we still have to wait for a few things.”
The Dortmund manager has shown plenty of faith in their young players this season with Jadon Sancho developing into one of the best attacking players in the Bundesliga, while new signing Erling Haaland continues to score goals for fun with 12 in eight games.
Should Moukoko make his senior debut this term he will break the record currently held by Nuri Sahin who represented Dortmund when he was 16 years and 11 months back in August 2005.
