You will be hard pressed to find a player hyped up as much as Borussia Dortmund teenager Youssoufa Moukoko. On the German youngster’s 16th birthday, ESPN FC’s Archie Rhind-Tutt says he cannot recall seeing a player receive so much hype. Rhind-Tutt explains Dortmund’s plan for the teenager ahead of a potential Bundesliga debut against Hertha Berlin, and why Erling Haaland says Moukoko is better than he was at his age.

This is the first time you guys covered him lol. He's been doing a madness for years and your acting like he's coming out of nowhere.
Where all these african germans are coming from?
Imaging putting all this pressure on a 16 year old …. Did y'all not learn from the case of Freddy Adu
It sounds like people are getting annoyed that he’s getting praised and hype
192 goals in 123 matches. Is this guy playing pro clubs😰
This kid better live up to the hype because the Germans are hyping him up to be the next big thing
I'm really excited to watch him play I'm hope that hes in the starting 11 but doubt it
He's been 16 for like 6 years lol
If this guy happened to have played for france I totally wouldn’t have questioned it
They will kick off one day like Ozil
DFB is horrible
Because he's 35! lol Chill, I'm kidding. He's 45. Nah he's 16 for real.
well, hyping someone is not just english privilege. lol
But can someone tell me his real age cause this guy has been 15 for far too long.
i hope for the kids sake the hype is right ….go for it kid..£6k a week already plus a £9m nike deal …
100% another freddy adu. german youth level is utter garbage. anyway it seems football is nowadays just about statistics. its really dead. not one interesting footballer out there. yes cristiano and messi are not talented as well. its always the same what they do. no real talent. talent was zidane, nedved, seedorf, rui costa, batistuta, redondo, rivaldo, ronaldo, luis figo (by far better than cristiano) etc. and dont answer if you disagree, just shows your lack of knowledge of the game or you just too young
He's getting ready to break sooo many records!🔥
The "kid's" father clearly lied about his age. He was physically dominating 15-year olds when he was 11. Not say he himself is lying but it's plain to see.
A friend of mine was adopted from an orphanage in Romania in the 90s and destroyed everything in his path for our rugby team. His voice broke aged 10. Go figure.
brazilain ronaldo had alot hype too when he went to psv even before that
People need to calm down and just let him play.
That kid is not 16, but that's another issue. I think it's quite funny that so many black players are complaining about racism and are championing BLM, but most of them were born in Africa(or a black country) and/or have African parents but are playing for European teams. Sterling loves fighting for "equality," but he's a Jamaican playing for England. If you are of African descent, the greatest love you can show for your race is playing for the country your descendants came from.
I'm a black man, so please the keep the race card in your pocket.
He's not under pressure because he's pure talent he will show his potential in coming years
I dont know if he is overrated or not. But from what I have seen he looks really promising in terms of technique and abilities.
I personally felt his technique is much better than the likes Rodrygo Goes and Ansu Fati.
I wonder why he gets so much stick but mgbappe,sancho, Holland etc. Never got anything bad
The guys a good 30 years old
He's not even that good tbh
16 really, lol?
If you think this guy is the bomb, wait till you see Tonton Zola Moukoko.
He's 6 feet?!?…. that's CAP
Future Golden Boy 🏆🇩🇪
Haaland says moukoko is best in world. Says it all
