One fan @UTDj02 wrote on X: "Wasted talent? Thought he was destined for big things"
User @CollinsMorgreen, added: "What happened to Youssoufa Moukoko? He was very promising. It's sad how these new generational talents can't sustain their form for at least four consistent seasons…"
User @DrBurgerparker was more wishful in his tweet, writing: "Damn! I hope this isn’t where his career ends lol"
On the contrary, @Genie_BettingX's tweet was one filled with despair. He stated: "I’m not sure he’ll make that leap. Feels a bit like Bojan or Halilovic – loads of potential early on, but it didn’t quite happen.."

After breaking through the Dortmund first team in 2020, Moukoko quickly set many records and was touted as a generational talent with a bright future ahead of him. However, after scoring just 18 goals in 99 games and failing to become an important fixture at the Signal Iduna Park, the 20-year-old was sent on loan to France at Nice. The loan spell did not work out as expected as he scored a paltry two goals in 22 games. Now, he will feature in one of the lower leagues with Copenhagen.
