Youssoufa Moukoko of Borussia Dortmund might now be signed by Crystal Palace in January.
That’s what TEAMtalk says.
What is the current state of affairs between Youssoufa Moukoko and Crystal Palace, then? Let’s examine this.
What’s the story?
The Germany international is considered to be among the world’s greatest players.
At the age of 19, Moukoko has already earned two caps for Germany, including one during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The day after he turned 16, he made his Bundesliga debut.
Regretfully, under Edin Terzić, the adolescent has struggled to get playing time; in the Bundesliga, he has only played 130 minutes, all of which have come from the bench.
Consequently, there may be an impending departure in January, with Crystal Palace being suggested as a possible location.
The German, who is also admired by Liverpool, Chelsea, Newcastle, and Real Madrid, may choose Fulham, according to TEAMtalk.
Of course, given that a handful of Europe’s top teams are also keeping an eye on Moukoko, some people might immediately dismiss Crystal Palace’s prospects of signing him.
The Borussia Dortmund No. 18 is reportedly so desperate for playing time, according to TEAMtalk, that he even thinks he might succeed at a lower-tier Premier League team.
Since Moukoko doesn’t think he fits in under Terzić, a loan move seems to be the most likely consequence, but the article also says that a permanent departure from Borussia Dortmund cannot be ruled out.
Who is Crystal Palace target Youssoufa Moukoko?
As previously said, Moukoko is one of the most gifted young players in the world, rated at €50 million (£44 million) by the CIES Football Observatory.
However, he might not be well-known to many people, so drawing parallels with a more well-known football player could be helpful.
It’s interesting that Moukoko and Samuel Eto’o have been compared on the official Bundesliga website.
Similar to the Cameroonian legend, Moukoko has an extremely strong shot and can also cause havoc with his weaker right foot, according to the Bundesliga.
A attack force consisting of Michael Olise, Moukoko, and Ebere Eze would be impressive to see at Selhurst Park, so be sure to keep a watch on this development.
