Christian Falk has claimed that Borussia Dortmund are unwilling to sell Youssoufa Moukoko to Chelsea in the next transfer window.

Typing on Twitter, Falk suggested Dortmund will attempt to keep hold of the teenage forward in January, although might not have as much luck in summer.

Moukoko’s contract expires in June, meaning he will become a free agent unless a new deal is organised.

This has caused a frenzy amongst those eager to secure his services.

Chelsea have recently been named as one of the clubs ready to snap up the 18-year-old if he becomes available to the masses.

The Blues are no strangers to circling the youngest and brightest talents on the scene, and Moukoko is no exception.

He has broken records ever since becoming the Bundesliga’s youngest ever player back in 2020.

His appearance at the World Cup almost earned him the title of Germany’s youngest player to ever grace the competition.

These accolades have been supported by the attacker’s statistics.

In 14 league matches this season, Moukoko has already scored or assisted 10 times.

Edin Terzic has also deployed him in each of Dortmund’s six Champions League ties, including a start at home to Manchester City.

Ahead of the contest, Owen Hargreaves described the German international as ‘incredible’, likening his contributions to that of Jude Bellingham.

Moukoko and Bellingham might walk a similar path once again, if Chelsea are serious in their pursuit of the BVB duo.
