During the off-season, the Munich "Bayern" club was complemented by New Zealander Sarpreet Singh, who may already have a chance in the German Super Cup match against Dortmund "Borussia" next weekend.
This may be due to the injury suffered by key player Serge Gnabry - it is already clear that the 24-year-old German will not be able to appear in the important match.
Other possible choices by coach Niko Kovac include Thomas Muller and Alphonso Davies, but the 20-year-old talent from New Zealand may have an advantage due to his assured performances in friendly matches against Madrid "Real," "Arsenal," and "Milan" clubs.
"He has integrated well into the team. Initially, we planned for Singh to represent the second team, but he has already proven that he has outperformed his competitors. I am very pleased and pleasantly surprised," said N. Kovac.
Singh arrived in Germany a month ago from "A-League" Wellington Phoenix team. It is reported that about 1 million US dollars was spent on the player.
