Borussia Dortmund youngster Youssoufa Moukoko scored an absolute world-class goal against Bochum last night and it has got the fans talking. He is just 17 years old and has built widespread recognition in Europe in very less time as being one of the most exciting prospects in the world.
He has been getting a couple of starts after the sale of Erling Haaland and with Sebastian Haller out with a cancer diagnosis, he and Anthony Modeste are the only strikers for the Yellow Army. He has proven his worth yet again and kept his manager’s trust, he showed real character and strength on the pitch and also scored a brace and is currently just three points away from the leaders, Bayern Munich.
He got his breakthrough last season as he was part of the first-team squad managing three goals and two assists in just 24 matches in all competitions. But he has started this season on a high and is much more improved having already scored five goals and six assists in the 19 matches he has played.
What records have Youssoufa Moukoko already broken in such an early stage of his career?
He has already broken a set of records becoming the youngest player to play in the Champions League at the age of 16 years and 18 days. He is also the youngest player to start in the Bundesliga at the age of 16 years and some fans feel that this record will stay there for some time now.
Last night after the goal against Bochum, he became the youngest player to score 10 goals in the Bundesliga and his first goal of the night was an absolute beauty shooting from outside the box which gained more plaudits than the last-minute equalizer he scored to draw level against Bayern Munich previous month.
