Questions over Youssoufa Moukoko's age following Cameroon controversy

Huge talent Youssoufa Moukoko, who currently plays for Borussia Dortmund, has had his age questioned, following controversy surrounding Cameroon under 17s.

It's no surprise that some of the biggest and best teams in Europe want to once again poach a young player from Dortmund, and they could have the chance to sign him soon.

At just 18-years-old, the Cameroon born German striker, who went to the World Cup in Hansi Flick's squad, would be of massive interest to Premier League clubs.

An entire starting XI, along with other squad members, reportedly had to be replaced after tests revealed that they were older than the age limit.

Moukoko's adoptive father is said to have sent a birth certificate in an email to a journalist, showing the name Yousouffa Mohamadou was born in 2000, and is attributed to belonging to Moukoko.

The Dortmund star has lived in Germany since 2014, joining St Pauli later that year, before moving to Signal Iduna Park two years later.

At the time the DFB produced a statement, saying, "The DFB has already had a number of intensive discussions with Borussia Dortmund at various levels.

"At the DFB's request for careful consideration of the facts, those responsible at Borussia Dortmund always point to the authenticity of the papers and documents, which are also known by DFB.

"There is therefore no doubt about the correctness of the age of the player. In this matter, the DFB relies on the details of the home club of the player."

SPORTbible have reached out to the DFB, who decided against commenting, and the player's representatives over the accusations.
