Manchester United are one of a number of clubs who are keen on signing Borussia Dortmund youngster Youssoufa Moukoko, according to reliable journalist Ben Jacobs.
The Lowdown: Moukoko shines at Dortmund
The 18-year-old is already making a name for himself in Germany, despite his tender years, with 14 Bundesliga appearances already coming his way this season.
In that time, Moukoko has scored six goals and also chipped in with three assists for good measure, shining alongside fellow prodigious talent Jude Bellingham.
The Nike-sponsored prodigy is out of contract at the end of the season, however, and there looks set to be a scramble for his signature.
The Latest: United keen on move
Speaking to Give Me Sport, Jacobs claimed that United are one of the clubs interested in signing Moukoko:
"Manchester United are one of those. They’ve tracked him for quite some time. They haven’t entered into any kind of advanced talks yet.
"Liverpool and Spurs are ones to watch and don’t rule out a move to La Liga and Barcelona either. Barcelona’s position is very much that they’re working on the player’s side to try and persuade him not to sign a new contract in the hope they’ll get him for free.
"As soon as transfer fees come into it, it wouldn’t surprise me if they back off the race. So, lots of suitors here."

The Verdict: Big talent for the future
At 18, Moukoko is clearly still a footballer learning his trade, but he has a massive ceiling and could be an exciting addition to Erik ten Hag's United squad.
To already be a regular for one of Europe's biggest clubs is a testament to his quality and he has even been hailed as 'amazing' and the 'biggest talent in the world' by Erling Haaland in the past, which speaks volumes.
The lure of United could be great for Moukoko, especially with Ten Hag turning their fortunes around, and he could be part of a long-term attack that also features the likes of Antony, Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford.
