Bayern Munich beat Manchester United and Chelsea to Jonah Kusi-Asare
Well, sources had previously informed HITC Football that Erik ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino’s respective sides were keeping a close eye on the 16-year-old.
HITC Football had been told that Manchester United and Chelsea were left very impressed by what they saw from Kusi-Asare, a 6ft 5in forward who is viewed by many as a remarkable talent within European football.
Now – however – Bayern Munich have swooped in to seal a deal with AIK Solna.
The Bundesliga outfit had an offer on the table at the time of our initial news regarding Manchester United and Chelsea’s interest, with AIK Solna now accepting that bid from the German champions.
Borussia Dortmund, Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Atletico Madrid were also keen to sign the teenager, so Bayern Munich have managed to fend off some elite clubs to secure Kusi-Asare’s signature.
The AIK Solna No.36 has enjoyed a very bright start to his career in football, scoring a hat trick against Moldova on his one and only appearance for the Sweden U17 side so far.
Kusi-Asare also has four senior appearances for AIK Solna to his name.
