Bayern Munich’s Louis Poznanski will transfer to Fortuna Düsseldorf

Per a report from Bild, Bayern Munich youth player Louis Poznanski will transfer to Fortuna Düsseldorf. The 18-year-old played left-back on Wednesday night against Arsenal and had a hand (well, a foot at least) in both of Arsenal’s goals.

Poznanski is considered a very good and versatile talent who could potentially excel at both left-back and also in a defensive midfield role. With David Alaba, Lucas Hernandez, and Alphonso Davies all able to play on the left defensive flank, however, Poznanski was undoubtedly headed for a full season in Bayern’s youth system.

While he did not get off to a great start with the Bayern Munich senior team, it is probably safe to assume that this move has been in the making for quite some time and not simply a reactionary move after a tough outing.

Poznanski will join Fortuna Düsseldorf at their training camp in Austria as the squad is preparing for the upcoming Bundesliga season. I shudder to think of the travel logistics that Poznanski probably has had to deal with over the past week. Good luck Louis!
