Canadian wonderkid Alphonso Davies gets No.19 shirt at Bayern

Bayern Munich have confirmed that Alphonso Davies will wear the No.19 shirt for the Bundesliga giants following his move from Vancouver Whitecaps.

The 18-year-old is considered one of the brightest talents in football, with Bayern having agreed to sign him back in July 2018 for $13.5 million (€11.5m/£10m) - the highest fee ever paid for a Major League Soccer player.

Davies was allowed to finish the MLS season with Vancouver - who ended the campaign in eighth in the Western Conference, with the Canadian teenager scoring twice in his final game against Portland Timbers.
