Kovac praises Pavard: 'He is a world-class footballer'
Bayern München coach Niko Kovac is full of admiration for VfB Stuttgart's Benjamin Pavard.
After an impressing World Cup with France, VfB Stuttgart defender Benjamin Pavard has caught the eye of some of Europe's top clubs.
At a press conference today, Bayern München coach Niko Kovac commented on the 22-year-old - and he is certainly impressed.
"He is a world-class footballer, a young player who will certainly be even better. Many clubs are looking at him - let's see if we will too," Kovac said.
Bayern München are one of the clubs that have been linked with Pavard who will be available for €35 million next summer due to a release clause that will become active.
Tomorrow, Pavard and Stuttgart will be up against Bayern at the Mercedes-Benz Arena.
