TMW: Milan and Juventus alerted by 'new Lukaku' after breakout at U17 World Cup
"According to a report from TMW, Mitongo is one of the most promising young strikers on the Belgian scene. Born in 2008 and currently in the Standard Liège youth academy, he's a striker who won't turn 18 until next January, but he's already in the sights of several top European clubs."
"This is especially true after his appearances for the Belgium U17 national team at the ongoing World Cup. The Red Devils bowed out of the competition in the round of 32 after losing to their peers from Portugal, but in the match against Fiji, Mitongo scored four goals in front of 'many scouts'."
"Mitongo is highly regarded at Standard Liège and it's no coincidence that the Belgian club recently extended his contract until June 2028. Furthermore, the Jupiler League club plans to give him a first-team debut soon, allowing him to test himself in more competitive environments."
Mitongo is a 2008-born striker in the Standard Liège youth academy who will turn 18 next January. He scored four goals against Fiji at the Belgium U17 World Cup and attracted significant scout attention despite Belgium exiting in the round of 32. Juventus and Milan are monitoring him with potential plans to bring him to Italy, possibly initially joining Milan Futuro. He is described as the 'new Lukaku' due to physical strength, ball protection, and hold-up play. Finishing is improving and Standard Liège extended his contract until June 2028 and plans to give him a first-team debut.
