Bayern München newcomer Alphonso Davies is a lot like Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappé, says Craig Dalrymple, technical director of the youth academy at Vancouver Whitecaps, who has watched the 18-year-old develop for years.

According to Dalrymple, the 18-year-old, who will officially join Bayern München on the 1st of January 2019, can be compared to Mbappé in terms of both playing style and potential.

"Especially in terms of his role and his position, he's very similar to him. He has the power and the acceleration, and he always looks for the most direct way to goal. He can take a similar path," Dalrymple told t-online.de.

Davies has already moved to München to train with his new teammates and adjust to his new surroundings.
