Wonderkid Moukoko should be Messi's successor at Barcelona – Eto’o

Barcelona should target Borussia Dortmund wonderkid Youssofa Moukoko as the long-term successor to Lionel Messi, according to legendary striker Samuel Eto’o.

The 15-year-old—who has been nicknamed the ‘new Eto’o’—has been named in BVB’s Champions League squad this season, even though he isn’t eligible to feature in Europe’s premier club competition until he turns 16 on November 20.

Despite not yet making his senior debut for Dortmund, Moukoko is the player Barca should be targeting as they look for a long-term successor to 33-year-old Messi according to his former teammate Eto’o, who was twice a Champions League winner during five years in Catalonia.
