This is a dream move for Redding, who should slot in nicely to Bayern's squad. Redding is a versatile player who can impact the game on both the offensive and defensive end. His range of passing, willingness to get stuck in and offensive ingenuity should bolster the Munich lineup.
He'll face stiff competition, however, with the Bavarians employing the likes of Arturo Vidal, Thiago Alcântara and Xabi Alonso in the center. He'll join them and be relied on breaking up the opponents attack and quickly leading the counterattack.
Bayern finished 4th in the Bundesliga last season, and made if to the Finals of the German Cup. They will also compete in the Euroleague and the Eurocup.
