Tottenham Hotspur are seemingly interested in signing Youssoufa Moukoko.

According to 90 Min, Spurs are among the Premier League outfits interested in the Borussia Dortmund starlet.

And journalist Ben Jacobs today reiterated that, stating on Twitter that Tottenham are ‘big admirers’ of the 18-year-old wonderkid, as covered by HITC Sport.

Now, Sky Germany man Florian Plettenberg has issued an interesting update.

Everyone knows Moukoko is out of contract with the Bundesliga outfit next summer, meaning he will be allowed to leave on a Bosman.

And that looks even more realistic now after Plettenberg revealed on Twitter that he has rejected Dortmund’s latest contract extension.

This is a very special talent and Tottenham will be keeping tabs on his contract situation, no doubt.

In fact, even Erling Haaland is a massive supporter of his.

As quoted by the Bundesliga‘s official website, Haaland once said of Moukoko: “Moukoko’s much better than I was at his age. I’ve never seen such a good 15-year-old in my life. The advantage for him is that he’s already playing for Dortmund at the age of 15.”

Nobody can say for definite whether the Tottenham-linked hitman will be better than Haaland.

But the fact the big man himself claims that he was less advanced at 15 as Moukoko was, is one hell of an endorsement and it’ll be fascinating to see where he winds up.
