Despite the January transfer window still being a few months away, rumors will never stop giving names and it seems that a youngster from Borussia Dortmund has become one of the latest to be linked with Liverpool.
As reported by SPORT (via BBC Sport): ‘Liverpool are leading the race to sign Borussia Dortmund’s 17-year-old German Under-21 forward Youssoufa Moukoko.’
The 17-year-old was born in Cameroon and has been playing in Germany since 2016, a nation he also represents at youth international level and has scored six goals in five games for the Under-21s.

Moukoko has already played 16 times this campaign and has racked up five assists and four goals, operating as No.9 and No.10 for the Bundesliga side.
This is a hugely impressive comeback for the teenager and it’s not hard to see why so many teams would already be interested in capturing his signature.
However, with the Reds so publicly involved in a potential bidding war for teammate Jude Bellingham, it seems unlikely that we’ll be able to sign the German club’s two most exciting prospects.
If Bobby Firmino were to leave this summer or next, Jurgen Klopp could see the former St Pauli youth player as a long-term replacement for the Brazilian and signing him so young could mean the price is lower than it can be in the United States. coming years.
The teenage striker appears to be shaping up to be a huge talent, but there won’t be many clubs turning down the opportunity to sign him, especially when his contract expires next summer.
