Football: Sarpreet Singh open to loan move, as German clubs express interest in NZ international

All Whites midfielder Sarpreet Singh says all options are on the table as he considers a loan move away from Bayern Munich next season. 

The 21 year-old played just two games in his first season with the Bundesliga giants, as he spent the majority of the season playing for Bayern’s reserve team in the 3.Liga  where he scored seven goals in 22 games. 

With the 2020-21 Bundesiga season due to kick off next month, Singh said he plans to sit down with coach Hans Flick about his options moving forward.

German football website, Kicker, reports that German second division club FC Nürnberg considering signing Singh on a season-long loan. 

"I think both [options of staying or going on loan] are really good and I'm in a position where whatever one I decide it's a good decision," says Singh. 

"That's something I have to assess in the coming weeks I guess and I will speak with the coach and see what he really thinks is the best for me.

"For me it could be a really good option to get minutes at a high level, but at the same time doing what I did this year and maybe even better by taking another step up could also benefit me.

"Nothing has been decided on what's going to happen but I'm open to all possibilities."

Singh made his first-team Bayern Munich debut in December against Werder Bremen when he came off the bench. He then made his first start against SC Freiburg in June.

"The moment that really stands out for me is making my debut against Werder Bremen, I think last year it was," says Singh.

"That is something that will stick with me forever. To make my debut for this club is truly special and something I will remember forever."
