Tottenham are interested in signing Youssoufa Moukoko from Borussia Dortmund as they aim to add striking depth behind Harry Kane.

The 17-year-old sensation has lit up the Bundesliga with some stunning displays at the Signal Iduna Park, scoring six goals while also providing four assists in Germany’s top-flight this season.

Amazingly, Moukoko has even earned a place in Hansi Flick’s World Cup squad despite never previously receiving a senior cap.

It was 90min who revealed that Spurs are interested, with Tottenham scouts flocking to Dortmund to cast an eye over the teenage wonderkid.

According to BILD, Liverpool and Manchester United are also keen on signing Moukoko, but Tottenham hold a key advantage.

Tottenham could sign Moukoko

Well, Moukoko has interestingly admitted that he would love to play with Harry Kane.

When he was 14, the German told his followers on Instagram that he is keen to be teammates with the England international, and he now has the perfect opportunity as Tottenham keep tabs on his situation.

Moukoko’s contract expires at the end of the season, and BILD in Germany have claimed that a sum of £26m would be enough to sign the prodigy in January if he continues to refuse a new deal at Borussia Dortmund.

Moukoko & Kane would cause chaos at Tottenham

In our view, Moukoko would be a highly effective partner for Kane in north London.

In similar fashion to Heung-min Son, the German is a lively, rapid forward, who is also a clinical finisher.

Moukoko’s fantastic movement in the final third would be a dream for Kane, as the Tottenham No.10 thrives when dropping deep and playing through balls in for his teammates.

Usually, Tottenham would have found themselves up against it as some of Europe’s elite clubs are attempting to sign the Borussia Dortmund No.18 in 2023.

However, Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici may just have the edge given Moukoko’s desire to play with Kane.
