Choupo-Moting was not their plan initially but even his sudden shine could not save Bayern Munich in the past season. He is not a striker who can play well in big matches and we saw that weakness in World Cup 2022 with Cameroon and with Bayern Munich in Champions League.
I think that Choupo Moting is a very good player and i am surprised that he never really made it into the starting eleven for a very big club in his career. He has everything that a player needs to be a great striker and in addition to that he also has a very smooth technique in my opinion. When Lewandowski was injured two seasons ago Choupo Moting showed a really great performance. Sadly he was injured during large parts of the second round of the Bundesliga in the last season so he could not really show his capabilities there.
That being said, he is already 33 years old so Bayern definitely needs a new number 9 now that really had the potential to replace Lewandowski over a whole season.
