Newcastle United have been given the transfer greenlight to solve their forward issues this summer, with a former target set to be available.
The Magpies were tracking Borussia Dortmund’s teenage sensation Youssoufa Moukoko last year as his contract was set to expire at the end of the 2022/23 season.
However, he committed his future to Dortmund, ending any hopes of an imminent move.
However, those transfer hopes can be rekindled after his agent, Patrick Williams, announced his client’s plans to leave Signal Iduna Park.
“Youssoufa has a huge potential, which unfortunately he couldn‘t show last season.
I think the fact that he scored 5 goals in 613 minutes says everything about his quality.
Few players in the Bundesliga have such a rate,” Williams told Fabrizio Romano.
“Youssoufa was promised a lot before he signed, but it wasn’t realised.
He was always only interested in playing and in his development – not in anything else just like the media reports always claimed.
If it had been about the money, he could have accepted other lucrative offers where he could have earned more than three times as much.
“Media always portray him as a loser, whether in training or the ongoing season.
The only thing he wants, is to play and if he is asked to go out and play, we’d have no stress.
