Who Is Jamal Musiala?
Currently, Jamal Musiala is one of the biggest shooting stars in Europe.
After the 17-year-old got playing time last season already and also travelled to the Champions League final tournament in Lisbon, he has been an integral part of the FC Bayern squad since this season.
Head Coach Hansi Flick seems to be convinced of his offensive player.
His development is also followed very closely in England.
Although Musiala was born in Germany and lived there for several years, he recently made his debut for the England U21 national team.
Before that, he played in their U17, U16 and U15 and for the German U16.
Due to his time in the youth academy of Chelsea FC, he feels more committed to English football.
Either way, the young talent has a great future ahead of them.
This scout report will contain tactical analysis on Musiala´s attributes and his playing style as well as how he fits into Bayern Munich´s tactics.
Jamal Musiala Player overview
Musiala is a very versatile player who can play every single position in attack.
While he was used to playing as a central offensive midfielder in his youth, Flick lines him up as a left-winger.
From this position, the young Englishman can drift into the centre and shoot or create goal-scoring opportunities with his strong right foot.
Therefore, Musiala is used as an inverted left-wing.
As we can see in his heatmap below, he is not staying on the touchline but tries to drift inside to get the most out of his creativity.

Jamal Musiala Dribbling ability
Musialas biggest strength is his dribbling ability.
He developed and improved his ball control during his time in Chelsea´s youth academy and now, is already one of the best dribblers in the German Bundesliga at the age of 17.
