3 players Bayern Munich could sign

Starting from 1st July 2018, Niko Kovac will join Bundesliga champions, Bayern Munich. Earlier, he led his side, Eintracht Frankfurt, to a win against his newly appointed club in the DFB Cup. That definitely did not go well for some Bayern Munich fans who were unhappy with the loss of a domestic cup trophy.

Bayern Munich was once again dominant in Bundesliga, winning the league with 84 points in 34 matches. Schalke 04 stood in second place with just 63 points. There was hardly any competition for the title and the team eased themselves to the title. However, in the UEFA Champions League, things have not been as rosy as expected.

The German club crashed out of the competition despite securing a draw while playing in Spain. The first leg loss at home condemned Bayern to an aggregate scoreline of 4-3 where Real Madrid advanced. With Kovac taking charge soon, he will certainly be keen that the fans are eager to see the club advance further in the Champions League and put up a challenge for the highly coveted trophy. On that note, here is a look at three players who could join Bayern Munich in a bid to boost the team and help them reach greater heights.

#3 Kevin Vogt (TSG 1899 Hoffenheim)

Hoffenheim's captain could be on his way to Bayern

There have been lots of rumors surrounding the future of Jerome Boateng. With his future uncertain, Bayern Munich could possibly be keen to sign Kevin Vogt who has been eyed as a backup center-back. The German league leaders have successfully signed a few players from Hoffenheim in recent years including Niklas Süle and Sandro Wagner, and Vogt could be the next player to pack his bags.

The 26-year-old stands at 1.94m and will easily become one of the tallest defenders on his side. His height gives him a great advantage when it comes to defending set-pieces. Additionally, he is one of the most consistent and regular players of his side. In the 34 Bundesliga matches this season, he has played a total of 31 times for his club.

For the majority of the time, he has been used as a center-back but Vogt can play as a defensive midfielder too. Passing is one of his strongest assets and according to Squawka, he has had a passing accuracy of 88% throughout the season. If Boateng does decide to leave during the transfer window, Vogt can serve as a pretty reliable replacement.

#2 Leon Bailey (Bayer Leverkusen)

Bailey has attracted widespread interest across all the leagues

According to some sources, Bayern Munich has offered €60 million for the player. The 20-year-old footballer has attracted plenty of interest from the German champions who look extremely keen in signing him. However, reports say that Leverkusen is demanding €100 million and would prefer Real Madrid as the player's destination.

The Jamaican winger finished his debut season with 12 goals in 34 appearances across all competitions. With great pace in his runs, he has been regarded as Arjen Robben's successor in the position of a right-winger. Bailey charges down his flank and is fearless when facing the defenders. As Robben ages, Bayern is indeed in need of a young player who can take over his role.

At 20 years of age, he is wanted by many clubs around the world. If he joins Bayern Munich, he is almost guaranteed to lay his hands on the Bundesliga title and enjoy European action against top opponents. These can serve as a wonderful opportunity for him to learn and also pick up some new skills.

#1 Jann-Fiete Arp (Hamburger SV)

Arp has made his interest known that he wants to join Bayern Munich. At 18 years of age, signing Arp will count as part of a long-term investment. In another three to five years, the club's top scorer, Robert Lewandoski, would have aged and probably be unable to play every single match for the club. Furthermore, there is plenty of speculation that the Polish striker could be leaving for Chelsea or perhaps Real Madrid who has been a long-term suitor of the player.

The German player made his debut this season and played in 18 Bundesliga games, scoring two goals. While playing for Hamburger under 17s, he netted 37 times in 45 matches. He probably needs more opportunities and game time in order to realize his full potential. It will be way too early for Bayern Munich to ignore him as he can become as lethal as Lewandoski.

From the statistics gathered by WhoScored, Arp is best at dribbling the ball. His ability to keep possession is pretty weak but that is probably due to a lack of experience when it comes to playing at a high-intensity level. The striker should be one of Bayern's targets this summer as he may potentially soon become a valuable player for the club.
