Bayern Munich have supposedly joined the race to sign Crystal Palace starlet Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

, Bayern will make an attempt to sign him at the end of the season, with a £30-40 million bid expected.

The Bavarians joining the race for Wan-Bissaka will come as a serious blow to Everton, who are another team reportedly keen to sign the coveted 21-year-old.

Everton are really up against it

The Toffees were credited with interest in Wan-Bissaka back in November ().

The speculation came as Seamus Coleman and Jonjoe Kenny were struggling to convince at Goodison Park.

Kenny has improved in recent weeks but there are still question marks over his ability to succeed Coleman long-term.

Wan-Bissaka would be a brilliant signing for Everton, but they are surely way down the pecking order of the other clubs mentioned.

Bayern Munich are a Bundesliga side and young English players moving to Germany has become popular in recent years – Jadon Sancho, Ademola Lookman, Reiss Nelson Emile Smith Rowe and Reece Oxford have all experienced regular game time in the division.
