Bayern Munich boss Jupp Heynckes would 'give his last shirt' to sign Kevin de Bruyne from Manchester City

Bayern Munich manager Jupp Heynckes rates Kevin de Bruyne so highly he would 'give his last shirt' to sign him.

The 72-year-old is a huge admirer of the Belgian who has terrorised defences across the Premier League this season.

Heynckes has steadied the ship at Bayern since taking charge for his third spell, following Carlo Ancelotti's sacking at the end of September.

And whilst he has some world class players at his disposal, Heynckes would dearly love to add a player of de Bruyne's quality to his ranks.
