From the source

Bayern Munich honorary club president Uli Hoeneß caused a stir in the media by criticising young talent Lennart Karl. “He’s far from being a superstar.

The young players need humility. Comparisons to Olise are not doing him any good; there’s still a world of difference between them.”

Christian Falk has since reported for CF Bayern Insider that Premier League clubs have perked up at the comments, with Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United making calls to figure out if there might be an opportunity to sign Karl.
