17-year-old Borussia Dortmund player Youssoufa Moukoko impresses with immense talent. Will he play for Germany in Qatar?

The demand for football coach Hansi Flick to take Youssoufa Moukoko to Qatar is growing as he has made his way into the Borussia Dortmund or BVB's first team.

The World Cup is rapidly approaching, and time is running out. You could believe that now is not the best time for Germany or any of the other qualified teams to call up a rookie. This one, though, is distinct because, while being young, he is not callow, and he is entering Hansi Flick's consciousness at the ideal time. Youssoufa Moukoko seems to have timed this well, like most of the runs he makes for Borussia Dortmund when fall gives way to winter.

The 17-year-old attacker has a number of noteworthy qualities, not the least of which is his patience in getting to the point where he is among the first names on Edin Terzic's squad sheet. The future seems bright for him because of both his talent and how important he is to Dortmund right now.

His finishes, which came from outside the area and simultaneously displayed technique, form and confidence, were usually quite convincing: a powerful left foot stroke, followed by a brilliant chip. This remarkable player indeed is completely persuasive.
