"When he first arrived, it was a moment for us to start to know him, to see what stage that he's at right now. When you take decisions, you don't take them because he's a player A, B, C, or D, it's because of the stage they compare to the others. I think you can take the conclusions of what I'm saying to you right now. If he's not playing in this moment of the competition, it means that he's not in a stage that he's ready to go."
"Jonah Kusi-Asare is one of the youngsters who left Bayern on loan to get consistent game time. The Swede joined Fulham on a season-long loan at the end of the summer transfer window. It is fair to say that the move to London has not gone as planned for the 18-year-old striker. He has made only two appearances for Fulham this season."
"Kusi-Asare had an impressive pre-season with Bayern as he managed to impress during his cameos in friendly games. He was also on the scoresheet in one game against Tottenham Hotspur. Die Roten were reportedly considering keeping him as a backup striker to Harry Kane, but they ended up signing Nicolas Jackson on loan from Chelsea."
Bayern Munich has integrated young academy graduates into first-team plans, exemplified by 17-year-old Lennart Karl, who impressed against Freiburg. Karl has delivered impactful performances in limited appearances and is viewed as part of the club’s current season plans and long-term future. Some academy players were loaned out in summer to gain regular minutes. Jonah Kusi‑Asare joined Fulham on a season-long loan but has managed just two appearances and has not secured consistent game time. Fulham head coach Marco Silva stated that Kusi‑Asare is not yet ready for regular first‑team football. Bayern considered retaining him as backup but signed Nicolas Jackson instead.
