Youssoufa has enormous potential, which he unfortunately wasn’t able to show last season. I think the fact that he scored five goals in 613 minutes says a lot about his quality. Few players in the Bundesliga have his ratio. Now, we are sounding out the interest of clubs in England, Spain and France…” To be continued.
