Bayern wonderkid Davies on struggling to adapt to 'intimidating' Bundesliga

The teenager has been one of the stars of Germany's top flight this season, but his journey has not been a straightforward one

Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies has admitted that he initially found the transition to Bundesliga from MLS “intimidating”.

The 19-year-old is 18 months into his stay at the Allianz Arena having signed from Vancouver Whitecaps and has been a regular in Hansi Flick’s starting XI, winning acclaim for his dynamic performances from left-back, from where he has scored three goals and created another eight in 42 first-team appearances this season.

But while everything is now going smoothly for the Canada star, life in Germany was initially daunting.
