The reports from late in the transfer window were true — Bayern Munich and Fulham had found a way to work out a loan deal for Jonah Kusi-Asare. Bayern Munich announced the move on its website:
FC Bayern have extended Jonah Kusi-Asare’s contract and are loaning the 18-year-old to English Premier League club Fulham until the end of the season. The Sweden U21 international moved to the FC Bayern Campus at the beginning of 2024.
After leaving his boyhood club AIK Solna, where he made his professional debut
at the age of 16, the 1.96-metre-tall striker initially gained match practice in the U19s and put himself forward for the first team thanks to impressive performances with the U23s, making his senior debut in April’s 3-0 win against Mainz. He also came on as a substitute again in the 6-0 win over RB Leipzig at the start of the new Bundesliga season. He has so far earned three caps for Sweden’s U21s.
Bayern Munich sporting director Christoph Freund think the move will be beneficial for Kusi-Asare.
“Jonah has developed very well with us over the past year and a half and was able to make his professional debut in his first full season in Munich. He has outstanding potential and should now gain further valuable experience at the highest European level. We will be closely monitoring him and are convinced that he will take the next steps in his development and continue to mature at Fulham,” said Freund.
Matchday 2 delivered — and it almost feels cruel that we now have to wait two weeks for Bundesliga action.
