Bayern Munich have joined the list clubs weighing up a move for Nottingham Forest winger Oliver Burke, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.

The German club have been alerted to Burke’s huge potential after he made an impressive start to the season for Forest and Bayern are plotting a sensational £10million bid for the Scotland international.

Burke is one of the most in-demand players in Europe after scoring four goals in four Championship games this season, including a superb solo goal in Saturday’s 3-1 win over Leeds United.

The 19-year-old broke into Forest side two seasons ago and established himself as a regular last term, with his club form prompting a first international appearance for Scotland earlier this year.

A number of Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Tottenham and Sunderland are all interested in signing Burke, but now Bayern Munich are ready to enter the chase for the speedy winger.

Forest are reluctant to lose Burke, but the Championship club are bracing themselves for offers for the teenager before the close of the transfer window next week and they would find it hard to resist a sizeable offer for the attacker.

Bayern manager Carlo Ancelotti’s assistant is former Derby County boss Paul Clement.
