Bayern Munich star Davies joins NFT boom with digital art collection traded through Binance

The 20-year-old Canadian star has latched onto the rapidly growing financial market of virtual collectibles

Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies has become the latest football player to participate in the world of digital collectibles bought and sold using cryptocurrency.

The 20-year-old will release three pieces of virtual art in June through the soon-to-be-launched Binance Non-Fungible Token (NFT) marketplace. Their exact designs have yet to be determined, but they will be crafted by illustrator Jack Perkins and are likely to relate to the Canadian left-back's blossoming on-field career in the Bundesliga.

Davies' limited-edition art will be awarded randomly to three individuals via a raffle but can then be sold through the new Binance exchange.
