The German has enjoyed a meteoric rise in recent years, making his first-team debut at the age of 16 and has gotten a bigger first-team role this season.

Man Utd and Liverpool eyeing Moukoko

Liverpool have been admirers of Moukoko’s talents for quite some time and are looking to get him to Anfield without paying a transfer fee for him, as his contract runs out at the end of the season.

However, they will have to fend off interest from Manchester United, who are also monitoring his situation at Borussia Dortmund and are keen on making a move.

United have been in the hunt for a new forward having seen Anthony Martial struggle for fitness and Cristiano Ronaldo’s future at the club is still unclear.

Moukoko has already scored six goals for Dortmund this season and there will be more eyes on him soon as he’s set to be a part of Germany’s World Cup squad travelling to Qatar this month.

The 17-year-old has lots of options for a possible transfer, with Barcelona and Real Madrid also in the race, and the two English sides will want to get their business done early.

Moukoko is only likely to get better and there will be strong competition for him come the end of the season which may be a problem for any interested sides.
