German top-tier side VfB Stuttgart has completed the signing of 16-year-old striker Mohamed Sankoh from Stoke City on a five-year deal. The 16-year-old is a Dutch/Sierra Leonean, who has already played for the Netherlands, and has been recently dubbed as the new Romelu Lukaku.
He was arguably the hottest property in the Championship club’s academy.
Sankoh was the youngest member of the Oranje youth’s 2019 UEFA European U17-winning team, featuring against France in the groups and Belgium in the quarter-finals.
Sankoh whose physical attributes and prolific strike-rate have prompted comparisons to former Chelsea forward Lukaku is said to be eligible to represent also Sierra Leone.
