For weeks, even months, Youssoufa Moukoko has been flirting with Ligue 1. Nurtured from a young age by Borussia Dortmund, who were aware of having a nugget on hand, the now 19-year-old striker has often been announced in the sights of French teams, who proposed a getaway to tan the player’s leather. But this never came to fruition.
Until today, since according to our information, OGC Nice has finalized an agreement for the loan of the striker. He is even expected tomorrow on the Côte d’Azur to undergo his medical examination with the Aiglons. Excellent news for Nice coach Franck Haise, who has accumulated setbacks for several days.
Nice had no choice
Indeed, he first lost his number 1 striker, Terem Moffi, for many months, with a cruciate ligament injury, then Jérémie Boga and Gaëtan Laborde also joined the infirmary, knowing that Sofiane Diop was still there. As a result, Haise had to deal with a decimated sector for the first two Ligue 1 matches, which ended in a defeat and a draw.
An offensive reinforcement was therefore expected, and he will therefore take on the identity of Youssoufa Moukoko. The latter can play all along the attacking front. Under contract until 2026 with Borussia Dortmund, he scored 6 goals in 27 appearances last season. He was mainly looking to increase his playing time, something he should be able to do in Nice.
