Alan Shearer has raved about reported Liverpool target and Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala on BBC One (8:50pm, November 27, 2022) while watching him in action for Germany against Spain at the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

Musiala, linked with a move to Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool in the summer of 2023, was in action for Germany against Spain at the World Cup on Sunday evening.

The match finished in a goalless draw.

Newcastle United legend Shearer was following the match for BBC Sport, and he was impressed by what he saw from Musiala.

The BBC Sport pundit noted that the 19-year-old is very different from the other players in the Germany team.

The teenager joined Bayern in 2019 after leaving London club Chelsea and has been linked with a switch to Premier League giants Liverpool.

Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg reported in October 2022 that that Liverpool are interested in signing Musiala as a back-up if they are unable to bring in Bellingham from Dortmund in the summer of 2023.

The £91,000-a-week (SalarySport) Germany international has made 12 starts and two substitute appearances in the Bundesliga so far this season.

Musiala has scored nine goals and given six assists in those matches.

The teenager has also given two assists in five UEFA Champions League games for the Bavarian giants so far this campaign.

Shearer said about Musiala in the 94th minute of the match: “Musiala has been their best player. Gives them something different, so young.”
