Writing in his latest column for CF Bayern Insider, Falk discussed Eichhorn’s future as it looks like he is already highly rated and attracting a lot of interest.
Arsenal and Man Utd have been linked with the 16-year-old, while Falk has also attracted interest from Bayern Munich and other Bundesliga clubs.
It’s clear that Eichhorn is already being highly considered, with Falk expressing how many top teams are already willing to do whatever it takes to add him to their squads.
Kenneth Eichhorn has compared the stars of the world
According to the youth’s Wikipedia page, Eichhorn seems to base his game around his midfield idols such as Sergio Busquets, Toni Kroos, and Kevin De Bruyne.
Eichhorn’s style of play sounds a lot like Busquets as he is primarily a defensive midfielder, but with the quality on the ball to decide to play deep.
He may not be as flashy as someone like De Bruyne, but he has the intelligence and composure of someone like Kroos, and that bodes well for his career ahead.
Who is trying to sign Kenneth Eichhorn?
Discussing Eichhorn’s situation, Falk said: “FACT: Bayern have conveyed their interest to Kenneth Eichhorn and his advisors.”
“He’s one of the biggest talents in Germany – and he’s only 16 years old! It’s quite something that such a young player can be of great help to his team. It’s so good, in fact, that Bayern are determined not to hurt the opposition (domestic or otherwise).
“Some clubs are focused on him; Arsenal, Manchester United and other Premier League clubs are among them. But there are also a few Bundesliga clubs who are monitoring Eichhorn’s situation.
“He has a release clause, which makes a summer move more than possible. Bayern Munich think that if they go to the Bundesliga, they always have a chance for the Bavarians to finally get the player. But if the talent is lost in the Premier League, it is very difficult to bring him back to Germany.
“Eichhorn is at the same center as Jamal Musiala. They are always talking to his agency. It’s not a promise, but Bayern have made it clear that if Kenneth Eichhorn wants to move in the summer, they are ready and waiting to make something happen.
“They want to be informed in advance if he wants to leave Hertha Berlin. They want a player – they don’t want to lose him. Bayern Munich are very interested. However, if he wants to spend another year in Berlin taking care of his development, that would be good for Bayern. But it will not be acceptable to abandon him in the Premier League.”
