"The hype around Moukoko in 2020 was astonishing, even before he made his Dortmund debut. As a 14-year-old in 2018-19, the Cameroon-born forward scored a record 50 league goals for the German side's under-17s, and at 13 had declared to Bild his intention to win the Ballon d'Or. Promoted to the under-19s the following season, he scored 34 goals in 20 games, also providing nine assists."
"A day after his 16th birthday in November 2020, Moukoko came off the bench for Erling Haaland the teammate and neighbour who used to drive him to training and once called him the biggest talent in the world to become the youngest Bundesliga player of all time. Moukoko's rise was unprecedented, records seemingly falling every week, and it appeared like the birth of the next global superstar."
FC Copenhagen's attacking lineup features Mohamed Elyounoussi, Jordan Larsson and Youssoufa Moukoko. Elyounoussi has led the club in goals and assists this season. Jordan Larsson has improved significantly and recently earned a Sweden recall. Moukoko emerged as an astonishing youth prospect, scoring 50 league goals for Dortmund's under-17s, declaring a Ballon d'Or ambition at 13, and scoring 34 goals with nine assists for the under-19s. A day after his 16th birthday he became the youngest Bundesliga player, later becoming the youngest to appear in the Champions League and score in the Bundesliga. Moukoko transferred to Copenhagen for €4.3m after leaving Dortmund.
