Ranking The Best Football Transfers In Europe During Summer 2019/20
8. Benjamin Pavard - Bayern Munich
It's been awhile since Bayern Munich were the footballing powerhouse that seemed to be in the Champions League final every season. It's not that they're a bad team, it's just that many players from the German side simply got older at the same time, meaning their performances dropped off in unison too.
The club might be in a rebuilding phase, but they've taken a significant step in bringing glory back to Allianz Arena by purchasing Benjamin Pavard. The 23-year old former Stuttgart defender is the epitome of a modern day centre back and will hopefully freshen things up at the back for an aged defence.
Not only is the French World Cup winner swiping the ball away from attackers or crunching into tackles, he's also a fantastic passer of the ball. There have been numerous times during his relatively short career that Pavard has showcased his ability to launch attacks from the back with ease.
With players like Alphonso Davies, Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman constantly running towards defenders, Pavard's long, accurate balls from the back could make him an instant hit with the Bayern fans.
