"If you'd watched, or even heard of him last season, you'd know it was practically impossible for Vincent Kompany to ignore him any longer. He played 31 times for club and country, at Under-17, Under-19 and senior level, albeit only fleetingly with the latter, contributing to an enormous 45 goals. That meant he averaged a goal or assist every 53 minutes; more often than not it was the former, netting 34 times for Bayern and Germany's youth teams."
"It's almost as though he has the ball on a string - even when it appears a pass has been fired into him with too much vim, he manages to control and progress the play within a matter of seconds. Dextrous, diminutive and devastating from that 20-yard range, Karl isn't going back to youth football and although he's yet to make his senior international debut,"
Lennart Karl is a Bayern Munich teenager who scored 34 goals for Bayern and Germany youth teams and contributed to 45 goals in 31 appearances across Under-17, Under-19 and brief senior outings. He averaged a goal or assist every 53 minutes. Karl combines elite technique with a deadly left foot, excelling between the lines on the edge of the penalty area where he controls and progresses play instantly. He is dextrous, diminutive and devastating from 20 yards, increasingly operating at senior level rather than returning to youth football. He mirrors Arjen Robben's inward-cutting energy while remaining comfortable receiving under pressure centrally and could be considered for Germany's World Cup squad.
