'The reports were very stressful' - Borussia Dortmund wonderkid Moukoko reveals he wanted to quit football

 

The teenage striker has opened up on his meteoric rise to fame at Westfalenstadion while outlining his goals for the new season

Borussia Dortmund wonderkid Youssoufa Moukoko has revealed he wanted to quit football due to pressure after bursting onto the senior stage.

Moukoko was drafted into Dortmund's first team as a 15-year-old in January 2020, having scored a staggering 88 goals in 141 games for the club at academy level.

In November that year, the striker became the youngest player in Bundesliga history when making his debut one day after his 16th birthday and has since nailed down a role in the squad, but his rise to prominence hasn't all been plain sailing.
