Bayern Munich’s player leadership council this year has a new face and it is one of the summer’s big arrivals.
From Sport Bild, as captured by @iMiaSanMia:

Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich, Harry Kane and Jonathan Tah. The latter was integrated into the leadership group immediately after his move to Munich [@altobelli13, @itstheicebird]
BFW Analysis
Bayern’s team council then has two members in Neuer and Kane who could be in their last year or two at the club. Who am I kidding, Neuer will play forever and Kane will love Bavaria — and that elusive Champions League? — too much to go chasing Premier League records. Tah is the interesting name here, given that he has just joined. He should be there for a while and take charge of the defense should Neuer decide to hang ‘em up.
Who after that in this current squad, especially in attack? It could be time soon for Jamal Musiala and Michael Olise to assert themselves, but they are young still.
For this year though this is a nice mix of experience, longevity with the team, and freshness. It’s just that there is a certain someone now in Vancouver who has left massive boots to fill. Let’s see how this group responds to the season’s first serious test of adversity, whenever that comes.
