"The designation of regular starter may be a little generous for Lambe. The 17-year-old German and Cameroonian dual citizen has, after all, only started 4 of 11 domestic league and cup games, with two of those starts not even coming in the positionally flexible midfielder's favored position. Certainly, he was more of a regular starter last season for the U-17s last season. Still, he has made steps forward this season and the contract extension is likely to reward the 1.89 meter tall player for that progress alongside having an eye on his potential."
"One who clearly has been a regular starter this season is Deniz Ofli. As one of the few U-19 players of last season who remained at that level, his experience has seen him given the captain's armband and assume a leading role amongst the team. The Turkish U-19 international, who also received the captain's armband while on international duty against Poland's U-19s, has now also taken over the starting LB position in the UEFA Youth League. All in all, his progress this season is being rewarded with this contract extension."
FC Bayern extended contracts for full-back Deniz Ofli (born 09.03.2007) and midfielder Allen Junior Lambe (born 20.08.2008) through June 2028. Both are listed as regular starters under U-19 head coach Peter Gaydarov, though Lambe has started only 4 of 11 domestic league and cup games this season and has featured outside his preferred position at times. Lambe is a 17-year-old German–Cameroonian measuring 1.89 meters and showed stronger regularity with the U-17s last season. Deniz Ofli has been a clear regular, assumed the captain's armband for club and Turkish U-19s, and is starting at left-back in the UEFA Youth League. Sporting director Markus Weinzierl praised their development and potential.
