Liverpool would be signing a ‘very exciting’ player in Borussia Dortmund striker Youssoufa Moukoko, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.

The Lowdown: Moukoko up for sale

The German’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season and the Bundesliga giants are willing to sanction a sale in the winter market to not risk losing him for free next summer.

Premier League clubs Manchester United and Tottenham, alongside Jurgen Klopp’s side, have all been credited with an interest in the 18-year-old, and a deal for a fee in the region of £26m is a possibility in January.

The Latest: Jones’ comments

Asked by GiveMeSport whether Liverpool would find it easier to sign Moukoko over Dortmund teammate Jude Bellingham, who is also attracting interest from Anfield, Jones said:

“Possibly, yes. I think the level of competition is going to be different, but the level of investment is different too.

“Moukoko is a very exciting player. You can definitely see how he would feel that under Jurgen Klopp he could improve.”

The Verdict: Alongside Bellingham

Bellingham has been associated with Liverpool for a long time now, and Moukoko could be set to follow in his footsteps to make the switch to Merseyside.

Dubbed a 'machine' by Jacek Kulig, the teenager has ten goal contributions to his name in just 14 league appearances this season and is currently averaging 1.9 shots per 90 minutes.

Moukoko already has so much potential at such a young age, and whilst he would slot straight into the first team, he'd be a hugely exciting signing for the future of the Reds in years to come.
