Scouts from Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City are all keeping a close eye on Bayern Munich’s emerging star Lennart Karl, reports in Germany say.
Karl, still only 17 years old, made his Bayern debut at the Club World Cup and has since made 11 appearances for Vincent Kompany’s first team, scoring in both the Bundesliga and the Champions League operating primarily as a right winger.
Enjoying an opportunity which likely would not have been available to him had Bayern beaten Liverpool to the signing of Florian Wirtz during the summer, Karl is already attracting interest from a number of Europe’s elite sides.
According to , the Premier League trio of Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City are all watching Karl’s development, sparking concerns over a potential exit from Munich.
Karl signed a new contract with Bayern during the summer and is tied to the club until 2028 but, according to , has already agreed a professional extension which will kick in when he turns 18 in February 2026.
There is not expected to be a release clause present for Karl, whose focus is said to be solely on proving himself with Bayern.
