No backup? No problem says Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich have had world class strikers among their ranks over the club’s rich history. Among them is Harry Kane. In one of the biggest transfers in Bundesliga history, the Englishman was brought to Munich in the hopes of silverware for both parties. It took two years to achieve the first title, but the job is not done yet. Harry Kane is being trusted so much that a backup striker is not being prioritized for Bayern Munich this summer.
Despite a lack of secondary scoring behind Kane, Bayern do not want to invest more money in the striker position, reports @VTschirpke and @kessler_philipp, captured by @iMiaSanMia.

While Bayern have never had strong backup strikers in recent years, there are some intriguing options that could surely benefit the club. Players like Nick Woltemade could be brought in for a reasonable fee, while investing for the future and ensuring Kane can pass off the torch in future seasons.
