Who is Alphonso Davies? The Canadian teenager Bayern beat out Europe's best to buy

Bayern's $13.5 million signing from MLS is a teenager with the talent to make an immediate impact with the German champions

There probably weren't too many Bayern Munich fans who knew much about Alphonso Davies when the German champions signed the Canadian teenager, but the $13.5 million acquisition was definitely known by the long list of European powers that tried to buy him.

The 17-year-old speedster became the most expensive transfer in Major League Soccer history when Bayern Munich signed him on July 25. Bayern beat out a host of rivals including Real Madrid and Manchester United to land Davies.
