Thomas Tuchel has hit back at the suggestion that Bayern Munich should have signed Victor Boniface instead of Harry Kane this summer. The Bayern coach was responding to Koln head coach Steffen Baumgart's comments in Sport Bild, in which he said that Kane is not the type of player he would be looking for.
Tuchel was quick to defend the club's decision to sign the England captain, praising his ability and noting that he is the "perfect" striker for Bayern's system. He added that the club had worked hard to form a transfer committee to evaluate potential signings, and said that Boniface is a "perfect fit" for Leverkusen.
When asked about Baumgart's comments, Tuchel said that the Nigerian striker is a "completely different type of striker" to Kane. He noted that Boniface's power is impressive, and said that Bayern must work to stop his runs and counter-attacks when the two teams face each other on Friday evening.
Tuchel was keen to highlight that Kane has made an impressive start to life in Germany, with three goals in four appearances so far. He also praised Boniface's ability, noting that he is one of the best strikers in Europe and that there is a lot more to come from him.
It is clear that both Tuchel and Baumgart are in agreement that Europe is home to some of the best strikers in the world, and that both Kane and Boniface can make a positive contribution to their respective teams. It remains to be seen how the two players will fare when they face each other on Friday night.
