In a story first reported by Twitter account @TheSecretScout_, Bayern Munich is planning another heist from Chelsea FC’s youth academy.
The Bavarians recently had 16-year-old Emran Soglo on campus for a trial and the club came away impressed with the midfielder, who can play the 8, 10, or on the wing. SPOX and Goal reporter Kerry Hau added more context to the initial report:
Der #FCBayern peilt - wie zuerst von @TheSecretScout_ vermeldet - eine Verpflichtung von #Chelsea-Talent Emran #Soglo an. Der 16-jährige Offensivspieler (Jahrgang 2005) trainierte vergangene Woche probeweise bei der U17 mit und ist seit dieser Woche im Training der U19. pic.twitter.com/dYaAa4ngPY

The #FCBayern bearings - as first from @TheSecretScout_reported - an obligation of #Chelsea -Talent Emran #Soglo is on. The 16-year-old offensive player (born in 2005) trained with the U17 on a trial basis last week and has been training with the U19s since this week.
Hau added more information as well:
Der erste Eindruck am Campus von Soglo: positiv. Der Linksfuß wird als spielintelligent und stark im Eins-gegen-Eins beschrieben, kann auf der Acht, Zehn und den Außenbahnen spielen. Eine Entscheidung über einen Transfer soll in den nächsten Tagen erfolgen. Soglo möchte zum FCB.

The first impression on the Soglo campus: positive. The left footer is described as intelligent and strong in one-on-one, can play on the eight, ten and outside lanes. A decision about a transfer should be made in the next few days. Soglo wants to go to FCB.
Bayern Munich, of course, made out well with Jamal Musiala, who was signed from Chelsea’s academy and looks like a burgeoning star. The Bavarians also have defensive prospect Bright Arrey-Mbi on campus as well after his move from Chelsea in 2019.
