Alphonso Davies

Bayern boasted one of the world’s best full-backs in Philipp Lahm. The former German international was impressive for the club for more than a decade. Die Roten has managed to unearth another high-quality full-back in Alphonso Davies during the last couple of seasons.

Davies was signed by Die Roten from  Vancouver Whitecaps in 2018. He arrived in Bavaria at the start of 2019. The youngster was expected to play as a winger, but the coaching staff at the Bavarian club eventually into a left-back. A part of Hansi Flick’s sextuple Bayern squad, the 20- year old Canadian International has numerous accolades to his name in a very short time.

The Canadian has already won three Bundesliga titles, two DFB Pokal, FIFA Club World Cup, and many more trophies for the club in the last three years. He also became the first Canadian to ever win the UEFA Champions League.  He won the Bundesliga Rookie of the Season award in the 2019-20 season and was also a part of FIFA FIFPro World 11 in 2020.

Alphonso Davies has all the qualities of a modern full-back. He can make a difference in the final third due to his amazing dribbling ability. His incredible pace and ever-improving defensive awareness make him a solid defender. Davies has all the tools to become one of the best full-backs in the history of the game.
