FC Bayern coul wind up recalling Jonah Kusi-Asare from his loan at Fulham in the Premier League
Much like Daniel Peretz’s loan spell with Hamburg SV from Bayern Munich, Jonah Kusi-Asare’s loan at Fulham has not quite gone according to plan. The 18-year-old has only made a total of five appearances across all competitions for Fulham’s senior squad and one forty-four-minute appearance for the under-21 side back in November in the National League Cup against Aldershot Town. In the Premier League, he has only clocked a total of twenty-three minutes, which is a far cry from what his expectations likely were when he wished for the loan move away from Bayern.
Per information from Tz’s Manuel Bonke and Philipp Kessler (via @iMiaSanMia), there are serious considerations right now at Bayern to recall Kusi-Asare’s Fulham loan since things haven’t quite worked out for him in the English top flight. Back in the summer, Bayern had different plans for the youngster as far as where he could have gone on loan, but he wanted to move to Fulham. Grasshoppers Zürich and different clubs in both Belgium and the Netherlands were considered by Bayern and more than likely would’ve proven to be far more beneficial for the young striker, though hindsight is always 20/20.
All things considered, this season very well might have proven to be a bigger chance to get minutes at Bayern as opposed to at Fulham. The German Rekordmeister have a comfortable lead at the top of the Bundesliga table and are already through to the knockout stages of the Champions League, with a DFB-Pokal quarterfinals clash against RB Leipzig to boast come next month. Fellow youngster Lennart Karl has taken the world by storm with the chances he’s been given in the absence of Jamal Musiala and both Cassiano Kiala and David Santos Daiber were given their Bundesliga debuts by Vincent Kompany in the 4-0 win over Heidenheim to end the Hinrunde.
Playing in an attack with Harry Kane, Luis Diaz, Michael Olise, Serge Gnabry, and a returning Musiala was always going to be a difficult prospect for Kusi-Asare to accept, but he’s essentially experiencing the same hurdles at Fulham. He had to fight for minutes against the likes of Raúl Jiménez, Harry Wilson, Emile Smith-Rowe, Adama Traoré, and Tom Cairney, among others. Manager Marco Silva has not had the right chances to give Kusi-Asare opportunities as the club is within reaching distance of European places in the Premier League table.
