Bara Sapoko Ndiaye is not only causing a stir at FC Bayern with his debut – the talent is also already setting impressive physical standards
Bara Sapoko Ndiaye is developing into one of the most exciting talents at FC Bayern. After his strong debut performance, another extraordinary ability of the 18-year-old is now coming into focus
According to a portrait on the club’s website, Ndiaye set an impressive record at the Bayern Campus: with a measured speed of over 36 km/h, he is currently the fastest player ever recorded there
Ndiaye impressed in his first appearance for the professional team, making 26 contacts with the ball in around twelve minutes, successfully completing each of his 17 passes and winning numerous duels. His dynamism and carefree attitude in particular immediately caught the eye
Head of Sport Max Eberl was also impressed: „Unfortunately he was injured, otherwise he would probably have had his chance earlier. He settled into the game very well and wasn’t nervous, even though it was his first time playing at this level.“
Bayern planning for the long term with the talent
The Senegalese’s development comes as no surprise. Internally, Ndiaye has long been regarded as one of the most promising talents on campus. His transfer in the winter was part of the club’s international youth strategy
The midfielder is currently still on loan, but according to the Abendzeitung, FC Bayern are leaning towards signing him permanently in the summer. A loan could be the next step to give him sufficient match practice
With his combination of pace, technique and intelligence, Ndiaye has everything it takes to make a long-term impression at FC Bayern, and his speed record on campus impressively underlines his athletic potential.
