Moukoko became the youngest ever Bundesliga and Champions League player in 2020 at the age of 16 and shortly after became the youngest goalscorer in German top-flight history.

Striker Youssoufa Moukoko is set to leave Borussia Dortmund and will join French first-division club OGC Nice on loan for the 2024/25 season.

Nice has the option to make the transfer permanent by June 30, 2025, under agreed-upon terms.

Despite being largely used as a substitute, he has scored 18 goals in 99 appearances in all competitions for Dortmund.

Nice finished fifth in Ligue 1 last season.

Moukoko made four appearances last term as Dortmund reached the Champions League final but was an unused substitute when they lost to Real Madrid at Wembley.
