Youssoufa Moukoko admits he was 'honoured' by rival interest but believes he can 'develop perfectly' at Borussia Dortmund. Newcastle United were linked with a move for the Bundesliga rising star but the teenager has now extended his contract until 2026.
Speculation was mounting over the 18-year-old's future with his contract at the Signal Iduna Park due to expire in the summer, with Barcelona and Chelsea also credited with an interest. Moukoko has enjoyed a breakout season so far, netting six goals and registering six assists.
Eddie Howe has spoken of the need to sign a new attacker before the window closes, with Newcastle sanctioning the exit of Chris Wood on an initial loan deal. Moukoko was tipped as a potential signing, and while the teenager was flattered by the interest shown elsewhere, he is confident he is in the right place to take his 'next step'.
