Not sure about style but it's tough to think of too many young strikers who could get in the French team and could maybe be signed for a non-crazy fee.
I also like him, but I have to say there are no reports about a release clause, at least as far as I know. Apparently he signed for Frankfurt because they very early built a relation to him and essentially got his word that he would move to Frankfurt long before the other mentioned clubs showed interest in him.
If there is any difference (I think most people use the terms interchangably) then instictively I would have said the term "striker" implies being a goalscorer first and foremost while "centre-forward" implies being the central focal point of the attack.

Haha. Yet another example of how far we have fallen.
Who are you suggesting here?
We actually have 4 forwards who have scored 20 goals or more in a season not long ago but they are all either finished, constantly injured or out of form.
The best available plug-and-play fit might be Vardy imho?
Even over the past 10 years we've been cack in that regard. You'll have to go back to SAF's last season for the last time we ever scored 75+ goals in the league in a single season.

we already paid over the odds for two young guys in Diallo and Pellestri who will never play for United so ffs sign a guy that make an impact straight away not another kid
His goals at the weekend were FLAMES!
Any club that doesn't think Moukoko can and should immediately be a starter won't be interesting for Moukoko I think.
Yeah no chance any of them leave in January,so like you say it means looking for yet another older stop gap signing
Yeah we need a fluid forward who can play across the front positions but also a pure number 9 as well but doubt we get both
Gakpo & Sesko
That would be a steal. But I think he will sign a new contract at BVB
Not that i don't think he's a talented player but he's not ready to lead the line for United
And on the bench he won't become ready, so I think we both agree on him - just wouldn't make sense
He will be a free agent in the summer, so why would anyone pay £30m now when you can agree to sign him for free in 6 months?
Wouldn't say no. How much would it cost for both?

Yeah free is better. But even 30m€ is a steal. If that makes sure you get him ahead of someone else, in Jan.
At this point, the player holds the power, and why would he want his new club to pay £30m now, when he could tell the club he will join in the Summer for free, but he wants a £10m signing on fee.
Can you really not see the difference between guys like Amad and Pellistri who were older than Moukoko is now when we signed them and hadn't played significant senior football and a kid who made his first team debut for a perennial champions league team at age 15 in a season he scored three goals. In his age 17 season, he has played 7.5 90s and has 6 goals and 3 assists and his non-penalty xG is in the 95th percentile so its not some crazy streak of finishing. They're just not comparable talents. Moukoko is performing at a high level right now at 17.
Well Gakpo would be around £40m,not so sure how much for Sesko because supposed to be joining Leipzig next year.
That's a massive difference. If we can get him for as low as 50-55M, yeah, I think it's worth it.
Fm wonderkid with high pa. Not sure how good is he in real life?
Real thing that can deliver from day 1 ? 100m at least.
Well indeed. Maybe could get Kane for a bit less given he'd have only one year left.
Kane for 80m at least ? The "English tax"
Great, should put us in the pole position for this kid!
