Bayern Munich sign Cameroon striker Eric Choupo-Moting

Cameroon international Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has completed his move to Bayern Munich on a one-year contract, the club has announced.

The 31-year-old striker has been without a club since leaving Paris Saint-Germain at the end of last season.

Choupo-moting, who has just 70 goals in 368 appearances, has now bagged a move to Bayern Munich off the back of an underwhelming two years at Paris Saint-Germain.

Choupo-Moting will provide cover for Bayern talisman Robert Lewandowski, with German outlet kicker suggesting the 19-year-old Joshua Zirkzee will be sent out on loan to gain more regular first-team action.

Last season, Choupo-Moting started 13 Ligue 1 games and appeared as a substitute in 18, scoring six goals, though his winning goal against Atalanta should mean he is remembered fondly by the club’s fans.
