Bayern Munich strike again by nabbing a promising youth player and molding him to be a superstar. The most high-profile instance is Jamal Musiala coming in from Chelsea FC, followed by Mathys Tel from Stade Rennais. This time, it’s Adam Aznou from FC Barcelona.
“He’s developing really well. He’s training hard,” Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund said on Adam Aznou’s development (Sky Sports Germany via @iMiaSanMia). “Adam is an exceptional player. His development over the past 5-6 months has been really, really good. He’s right at the top of our list. A player we take great care of. We obviously hope to see him in the first team.”

The young Spanish Moroccan is a fair shout to be included in the Rekordmeister’s matchday squad in their Bundesliga match against Bremen this weekend, but Freund said the club need not rush with him: “He’s not missing much to be there. Everyone knows that he brings a lot and has come a long way. He’s very close to the first team. The coaches are very happy with him. He did very well in preseason.”
On his maiden call-up to the Moroccan national football team, Aznou played 90 minutes against Lesotho and was named MotM in his side’s 1-0 win.
