Ex-BVB wonderkid Moukoko causes a stir with his latest move

Whether in Nice or in Copenhagen: Youssoufa Moukoko found no footballing happiness in either France or Denmark. The 21-year-old former Dortmund player still shows flashes of his talent from time to time. But the final breakthrough simply refuses to come. Another move does not seem out of the question.

At BVB, Moukoko broke one record after another. Whether as the youngest player and goalscorer in the Bundesliga or the youngest German World Cup participant, a successful career seemed almost preordained.

Despite his 99 appearances and 18 goals for Borussia, the Ruhr club did not stand in his way last summer and allowed him to move to the Danish capital. Lars Ricken (49), BVB’s managing director for sport, wished the two-time Germany international “a successful fresh start and a sporting environment that enables him to fully realize his undoubtedly great potential.” “We hope his career will now pick up speed again,” added then sporting director Sebastian Kehl (46).

FCK coach Svensson responds

At first glance, Moukoko’s record with the Lions does not look all that bad. Across all competitions, he has made 40 appearances for FC Copenhagen so far and scored 16 goals. Last Sunday, he netted a fine goal in the 5–0 win over Randers FC. However, the former Dortmund player was in the starting lineup in only just under half of those matches (23).

Moukoko is therefore not satisfied with his situation either, Bold.dk reports. The latest evidence is the 21-year-old’s recent activity on social media. Previously, the striker had posted numerous pictures and videos from his time at FC Copenhagen on Instagram. Recently, however, he decided to remove all of those posts. Photos from his time in Dortmund, on the other hand, have remained.

His coach Bo Svensson (46/Mainz, Union Berlin) responded to the question of whether Moukoko still has a future at FCK: “He is allowed to be dissatisfied — as long as he does not overdo it, that is completely fine.” Speaking to TV3 Sport, he added: “I am not speculating about his social-media activity. To be honest, it does not affect me at all.” Despite a contract running until 2030, another club change this summer apparently cannot be ruled out.
