Ok, did a little rudimentary back-of-a-fag-packet research, so take with a pinch of salt:

Attributes I like:

- Fucking rapid
- Lovely shooting technique off his right; short backlift, good aim, often hits the far corner
- Similarly lovely clipped crossing tecnhiqu off his right when he cuts inside, good accuracy
- Nice close control
- Drives well towards the box, particularly in space
- Skills, looks like he can beat a man

Drawbacks:

- Unclear if he has a left foot at all. The one shot I saw off his left was terrible technique
- Unsure about his crossing ability off his left when he gets to the byline
- Looks much more comfortable on the left flank where we have plenty of options than the right or centrally where we really need players
- Don't think he looks massively comfortable playing with his back to goal, or laying the ball off, or physicality, so think he might have a ceiling as a striker (caveat, he's only 20 and strikers peak late)
- Not sure if he's your Mitoma-esque dribbling profile to stand on the left flank and dribble against a parked bus.
- Seems to prefer to play with space in front of him on the counter, hence why he might have suited Tuchel ball last year more than Kompany ball this year which is more possession based
- Maybe would suit the next manager more if they play with more inverted wingers.

That said, liimited sample size. Overall am more pro the signing than I was half an hour ago because it's clear he's got real ability. But to me he looks very raw and a 60m investment on a player who Bayern bought for 20m 2 years ago and who hasn't set the world alight since would make me incredibly nervous. For 70 you could buy Kvara who is the proven article. This guy's fee seems massively overinflated to me and im praying it's just a loan for now.

Why do you keep posting this exact same post, then deleting it, then reposting it?

We have an option mate so if we are not convinced we dint take it to. Ditto he could not want ti sign having been brilliant. Win win.
 
Good that we got him in but it's a glorified loan. He agreed to the option because he clearly has no intention of leaving Bayern and just wants playing time which we can offer straight away due to our injuries.
If he smashes it, he goes straight back on a plane to Munich and continues his career in Bayern. And if he fails to impress then why would we be paying the pre-agreed £50m or thereabouts for a kid that maybe doesn't suit the league or just isn't that good.
 
No loan fee now apparently; so final price is 55m euro.......... 5m drop in price from before.

Levy gets HIS trophy too.
