Fans left in utter disbelief as Dortmund wonderkid Youssoufa Moukoko set for shock transfer move that shows just how far his career's plummeted

Football fans are in complete disbelief after transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that Danish club Copenhagen are in advanced stages for the transfer of Borussia Dortmund wonderkid Moukoko. Fans on social media have expressed their shock over just how rapidly the career of the youngster, once touted as the next big thing of Europe, has plummeted.

One fan @UTDj02 wrote on X: "Wasted talent? Thought he was destined for big things"

User @CollinsMorgreen, added: "What happened to Youssoufa Moukoko? He was very promising. It's sad how these new generational talents can't sustain their form for at least four consistent seasons..."

User @DrBurgerparker was more wishful in his tweet, writing: "Damn! I hope this isn’t where his career ends lol"

On the contrary, @Genie_BettingX's tweet was one filled with despair. He stated: "I’m not sure he’ll make that leap. Feels a bit like Bojan or Halilovic - loads of potential early on, but it didn’t quite happen.."

After breaking through the Dortmund first team in 2020, Moukoko quickly set many records and was touted as a generational talent with a bright future ahead of him. However, after scoring just 18 goals in 99 games and failing to become an important fixture at the Signal Iduna Park, the 20-year-old was sent on loan to France at Nice. The loan spell did not work out as expected as he scored a paltry two goals in 22 games. Now, he will feature in one of the lower leagues with Copenhagen.

According to Florian Plettenberg, Copenhagen will pay Dortmund a fee of around €5 million (£4.3m/$5.8m). The Lions will sign the young striker on a long-term contract and medicals are expected to take place in the coming days.
