Bayern secure services of highly rated teenage defender

 

Bayern Munich have confirmed the signing of Tanguy Kouassi from PSG. 

 

The French centre-back is highly thought off in France and he had been courted by a host of top sides once it was confirmed he was available. 

 

Bayern, though, have won the race to sign the 18-year-old, who has joined until 2024. 

 

"FC Bayern have completed the signing of Tanguy Nianzou Kouassi," a statement read on Bayern's official website. 

 

"The 18-year-old French youth international joins from Paris Saint-Germain on a contract valid until 30 June 2024.  

 

"Although his primary position is centre-back, he can play in multiple positions across the defence. As well as French citizenship, the right-footer also possesses an Ivorian passport." 

 

On the move, Kouassi said: "I’m very happy to be able to play for FC Bayern. It’s a big club, rich in tradition. I really hope I’ll be able to establish myself here and play a lot of matches. For that I’ll work hard." 

 

 

Kouassi only made four league starts for PSG last season, though one of those was a man of the match showing in their 4-4 draw with Angers.
