Bayern has always relied on high flying wingers. In previous seasons, Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery were at their best. But they are at the twilight of their careers and Bayern desperately need younger top class wingers.
Niko Kovač needs to spend big money to replace Robbery. Spend big and wise. Here are five wingers who could easily replace Robben and Ribery at Bayern.
#5 Florian Thauvin (Marseille)
This season, Florian Thauvin was one of the best players in French Ligue 1 alongside Neymar and Nabil Fekir. In 35 games played this season in Ligue 1, Thauvin scored 22 goals and provided 11 assists.
Going back a few years and Thauvin was struggling to get into a Newcastle squad. Now, he is in the France World Cup squad while players like Karim Benzema and Alexandre Laccazete are staying home.
His playing style is very similar to Robben. He's a really technically skilled winger with a magical left foot. Thauvin will be a hot market this summer and Marseille president has said that he will ignore an €80m offer for Thauvin.

#4 Leon Bailey (Bayer Leverkusen)
Leon Bailey is an explosive, skillful winger who could easily fit into right wing at any top team in Europe.
This season, he played 34 matches in all competitions for Bayer and scored 12 goals with 6 assists.
These stats at 20 years old are amazing. So there is no surprise he has already drawn attention from almost all top European teams.
His decision making is something to improve on but that is normal for his age.
#3 Malcom (Bordeaux)
In the past two seasons, Malcom was the best player in the Bordeaux squad. He is a player with great potential and what sets him apart from the average Brazilian wonder-kid is his versatility.
He is very explosive, has great technical ability and a powerful long-range shot. His style of play is very similar to Douglas Costa, who is currently playing for Juventus on loan from Bayern.
His dynamism has often been the key for Bordeaux in unlocking Ligue 1’s tough defences.
#2 Anthony Martial (Manchester United)
Reports in England suggest that Manchester United are ready to listen to offers for Anthony Martial this summer, but they are not going to sell him to another club in the Premiership. This could be a perfect chance for Bayern to get a young, skilled and energetic player.
Martial is not going to play at the World Cup in Russia so this might decrease his worth and also he would be able to play in the preseason.
This season, Martial started only 18 games in the Premiership. He has only one year left on his contract.
#1 Lorenzo Insigne (Napoli)
Lorenzo Insigne is a magnificent player and many clubs are monitoring his situation at Napoli, Bayern is one of these clubs. He could perfectly replace Ribery on the left side of Bayern's attack.
Insigne is the main player in Sarri's system. He has a wonderful right foot, he can create chances out of nothing and offers a great defensive work. This season, he scored 8 goals and provided 11 assists in 37 matches in Serie A.
His numbers weren't quite as good as they were last season, but he established himself as the leader of Napoli.
