The 19-year-old was hyped up for success early on, having been unstoppable at the youth level. But in spite of showcasing moments of brilliance early on in his career with the senior team, Moukoko wasn’t trusted as the first-choice striker at the club.
Moreover, comments from his agent also accelerated his departure from the club. And now, it seems like he is set to join the French club in a bid to take the next step in his career.
It’ll be interesting to see if the teenager can fulfill the potential he once showed as a youth player at Dortmund. He surely has time on his side, and regular playing time could help elevate him further.
