Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund, Germany - October 22, 2022. Borussia Dortmund's Youssoufa Moukoko celebrates scoring.
Manchester City have joined the race to sign Youssoufa Moukoko as the Sky Blues ‘set sights on beating Liverpool’ to his signature.
The Lowdown: City eye new additions…
The Sky Blues have enjoyed a brilliant start to this 2022/2023 Premier League campaign as Pep Guardiola’s side aim to retain their domestic crown for the third successive season.
No top flight side has scored more goals than City with their only loss coming against arch rivals Liverpool at Anfield, with summer signing Erling Haaland taking England by storm.
However, it has been reported that the Blues could still be in the market for fresh additions, with links emerging to the likes of Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham among others.
The Latest: Man City join Moukoko transfer race…
According to Football Insider, City have now ‘set sights on beating Liverpool’ to a new target as an update comes to light involving another Dortmund sensation.
It is believed club chiefs and the City recruitment team are eyeing a move for Moukoko as they join the race for his signature.
Guardiola’s side are now ‘targeting the forward’ who has earned rave reviews from their star striker Haaland in the past.
The Verdict: Make the move?
Called an ‘incredible’ talent by reporter Ed Aarons, Moukoko has indeed also attracted praise from Haaland in recent years with the Norway international once calling him the ‘biggest talent in the world’.
Over his 11 Bundesliga appearances for Dortmund this season, the scintillating 17-year-old has netted four goals whilst assisting three others – totalling a brilliant seven goal contributions in total (WhoScored).
Going by the numbers, Haaland’s verdict certainly still adds up, leaving little wonder City have taken a serious interest.
