FOOTBALL fans reckon German giants Bayern Munich are ahead of the game once again.
That’s after Thomas Tuchel’s side snapped up “the next big thing in football” for a minimal transfer fee.
Fabrizio Romano revealed Bayern have completed the signing of Nestory Irankunda from Adelaide United.
The speedy winger is just 17 years old and will officially become a new Bayern player next summer.
Irankunda, who was born in Tanzania, has 11 goals in seven games for Australia’s U17s.
At club level, the forward has nine goals in 39 matches after making his pro debut last year aged just 15.
