Borussia Dortmund - Kehl responds to critiques from Moukoko's advisor
Borussia Dortmund's Sport director Sebastian Kehl responded to the claims of Youssoufa Moukoko's advisor last night and avoided escalation. "We have certainly taken note of the public statements. What we discuss with the player side, we continue to handle internally," Kehl told "Ruhr Nachrichten".
Moukoko's advisor had previously hinted that the 19-year-old striker from BVB might soon play for another club. "Youssoufa was promised a lot before his signing, but that was not kept. He was always only interested in playing and developing further," the advisor is quoted as saying in a post by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on X.
Four strikers "perhaps not optimal"
It's no secret that there are enough clubs out there who believe in Moukoko's qualities and wanted to have him in their team, the advisor added further. Regarding Moukoko's future, Kehl said nothing about it on Monday.
The Dortmund functionary had already hinted before the team's Asian tour that something could still happen in Dortmund's striker position. With the signing of Niclas Füllkrug from VfB Stuttgart, Dortmund now has four top strikers on the team. "We had three strikers last year. Perhaps something will still happen at this position," Kehl had said. It's "perhaps not optimal to go into the season with four strikers."
