TOP STORY: Man United and Liverpool square off for 17-year-old Moukoko
Manchester United and Liverpool are set to battle it out to secure the signature of striker Youssoufa Moukoko, according to Sport Bild.
Moukoko has emerged as one of Europe’s most exciting talents this season, with the 17-year-old becoming a mainstay for Borussia Dortmund. His impressive form has seen him notch six goals in the Bundesliga so far this season, which has attracted the attention of Man United and Liverpool.
The striker sees his current deal at Dortmund expire in 2023, and Bild reports £26m could be enough to see Moukoko swap the German league for England. Dortmund have offered Moukoko a new contract, but reportedly have not heard back from the striker and his agent, which could see the Bundesliga club try and cut their losses whilst they can.

Man United, in particular, have been linked with an array of strikers as they look to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, and Moukoko may represent a long-term replacement.
Liverpool are likely to be more active in the upcoming transfer window themselves, having fallen behind to domestic rivals, and signing the highly sought-after striker would send out a message of intent to the rest of the Premier League and Europe.
Moukoko has not just been in sparkling form for his club, with the Dortmund academy graduate also impressing for Germany‘s Under-21’s, leading to calls for him to be included in the Germany squad for the upcoming World Cup.
