Three Borussia Dortmund players looking to make a strong impression during pre-season
By Brook Genene
Youssoufa Moukoko
The 19 year old has seen his first-team opportunities dwindle since his first-team debut just one day after his 16th birthday. Despite showing his quality in the few games he did play in, he struggled to win over Terzic.
Niclas Füllkrug was the preferred option last season and Sebastien Haller was the first-choice back-up, leaving Moukoko with very little time on the pitch. Add to that the impending signing of Serhou Guirassy, and the competition for places will be very high for the striker's position.
Under Sahin it is not yet clear who will be the main man up front. Füllkrug seems to be in top form, while Haller could well be asked to leave the club. Moukoko is a different type of striker than the other forwards in the BVB ranks. His movement and ability to get in behind the defenders could be useful for Borussia Dortmund next season, especially if he manages to impress during pre-season.
