Who is Bastian Assomo? Bayern Munich striker scores four goals on Germany U-17 debut
Assomo is considered a huge talent within Die Roten.
Bayern Munich youngster Bastian Assomo announced himself on the international stage in spectacular fashion, scoring four goals on his Germany U-17 debut during their European Championship qualifying clash against Azerbaijan on Wednesday, November 11.
16-year-old Assomo, who currently plays for Bayern Munich II, came on as a second-half substitute at the DFB-Campus in Frankfurt, scoring four goals within 21 minutes to ensure a dominant 7-0 win for the home side.
This capped off what has been a breakthrough season for Assomo. The 6ft 3in forward impressed for Bayern Munich during their pre-season campaign. He scored once during the 15-0 win against Rottach-Egern. He also scored the winner during the 2-1 victory against Jeju SK during Die Roten’s pre-season tour of South Korea.
As a result, the right-footed centre-forward is highly regarded by the Bayern coaches and can expect more first-team exposure during the current season.
