So far, Bayern München have completed the signings of Benjamin Pavard (VfB Stuttgart), Lucas Hernandez (Atlético Madrid) and Jann-Fiete Arp this summer.

But Bayern coach Niko Kovac isn't satisfied yet and wants further signings ahead of the 2019/20 season.

"We still need four players," Kovac underlined in an interview with Kicker in which he also said that Bayern "won't get far with 17 professionals."

Bayern's primary focus will be signing a new winger, with their top target being Manchester City star Leroy Sané.

According to recent reports, however, the German international isn't too keen on a move to Munich.

The Bavarians have also been linked with Chelsea's Callum Hudson-Odoi, FC Barcelona's Ousmane Dembélé and Gremio's Everton Soares.

Kicker now mentions Steven Bergwijn from PSV Eindhoven as another possible alternative for the wing position.

Recently, Bayern have also been reported to be interested in Stuttgart's Ozan Kabak. Sport1 reports that the centre-back prefers a move to Munich while Bild claims that he's set to complete a move to Schalke 04.

Meanwhile, RB Leipzig's Timo Werner has been linked with a move to Bayern for a while, but reports have suggested that the Bavarians are doubting the German international.
