Kingsley Coman says he's happy to take on more responsibility at Bayern München following the summer departures of veteran wingers Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery.

In an interview with L'Equipe, the 23-year-old says he feels his role has grown over the past year.

"I like to take responsibility. But things haven't changed that much compared to last year where people were already expecting a lot from me," Coman said and added:

"Since last year, I've felt that my teammates have tried to involve me more. During a match, Thomas Müller came up to me and said, 'It's up to you to make the difference'. I like having that responsibility."

The French international has made five apperances for Bayern this season with two goals and three assists to his name.
