‘There was not enough time’ – Bayern’s Zirkzee on failed transfer deadline day move

Joshua Zirkzee says it was difficult for him to leave Bayern Munich on transfer deadline day following the arrival of Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting on the same day from Paris Saint-Germain.

The Cameroon international’s switch from the French capital to the Bavarian capital was not something that was anticipated and it could have an impact on the amount of game time Zirkzee – who is back-up to Robert Lewandowski, will see.

Zirkzee is an emerging player from Bayern’s academy, breaking into the first team last season and scoring four goals in nine appearances.
