Attacking midfielder is back in the country of his birth but remains an
England youth international – at least for now
Even Jamal Musiala couldn’t have expected his first year back in
Germany to end quite so well. On 20 June, aged 17 years and 115 days, the former star of Chelsea’s academy became the youngest player to make a Bundesliga appearance for Bayern Munich after coming on in a 3-0 victory over Freiburg – beating a record that has been held by such luminaries as Toni Kroos and David Alaba.
It capped the England Under-17 international’s extraordinary progress since leaving the
Premier League club last summer, with Musiala emerging as one of Bayern’s brightest young prospects.
