Mentioned elsewhere on the site and looks like he could develop into a quality player in time. 

Very early days, but already being talked up in Germany as an understudy for Kimmich in the Bayern first-team.  Has made two pre-season appearances for Bayern (against Juventus and Man City).  

I understand he's to be called up to our U-18s, but would be great to see him involved, even now, with a senior training squad in a developmental capacity. 

Good article about him and how highly Bayern rate him here:   http://www.thejournal.ie/ryan-johansson-bayern-4165267-Aug2018/" rel="nofollow - http://www.thejournal.ie/ryan-johansson-bayern-4165267-Aug2018/

Was having a quick look at his social media accounts to see what he had to say about playing for Ireland.

I happened to stumble across his agents account, and it turns out that his agent is Irish. Nothing major I know, but possibly a slight advantage in our favour if Sweden were to come calling.

Once he plays tomorrow he is tied down. Competitive underage for Lux and Ireland ties him down no? He has already switched twice too.

Tomorrow isn’t competitive and he doesn’t need to complete a switch to play for us in a friendly. 

We’ll know for sure in about a month, if he is included in the squad for elite round qualifiers.

Edit: Friendly vs Wales is today. Ryan starts.

Could he not have been brought into the Under 21's and put on the bench tonight and brought on to end any debate of who he'll play for in the future regardless of how he gets on with Munich!
Please tell me its some sort of paper work that prevented him from being called into the U21's and allowed to play in a competitive fixture?

Perhaps he didn't want to be called up to the U-21's. It's possible he's just testing the water.

In good news, Obafemi has reaffirmed his commitments to us. 

Infairness, the media reported incorrectly at the time that we had secured young Ryan. 

He is sticking with Luxembourg for now as he can still play for any of three countries so long as he plays for Lumexbourg for the foreseeable future.

If he switched to Ireland or Sweden right now he wouldn’t be able to play for anyone else.

Let’s be honest though, Luxembourg have more going for them than we do right now, never mind Sweden.

How???
Yes they are top of their Nations League group but I'd expect Belarus to beat them next week and even if they do top the group I'd see Georgia or Macedonia/Armenia beating them to qualify for the Euros (if that is what you mean by more going for them)

The lad is simply keeping his options open which is understandable, even though he is with Bayern he could be playing equivelent to league 2 in 2 years and no hope of an Irish or Swdish cap.

This lad goes to Luxembourg... 'He'll never win anything, has he no ambition' etc etc

I don't think he'll tie himself to Luxembourg. I'd almost guarantee you that when push comes to shove he'll declare for Sweden, especially if we continue at our low ebb.

This is more depressing news alright.

Although I don't think he's "chosen" Luxembourg over us.  

I'm open to correction, but I think the issue may be that he's coming up to a competitive age-group, so if he switched now, he'd be bound for the long-term (you're only allowed one switch).

So he's not "choosing" Luxembourg, he's just deciding to remain capable of making a switch (to Ireland, or Sweden) in the future.  

I'd still have strong hope he'll go for us given his Mum's from Ireland.  

However, he might be looking at the circus we've had going on and compare it to Sweden's excellent youth sides and ability to squeeze results out of a less impressive senior side, and conclude that this may be the better option for him ultimately.

If he develops into a serious player, I doubt he will plum for Luxembourg.  

Someone was on here, saw him first hand in one of the youth games for Ireland - said he looked very tidy and technical (unsurprisingly, given he's at Bayern). 

Will be gutted if we lose this lad - but still have a lot of hope.  Either way, this isn't the end of the story: he's just keeping his options open.

My thinking is he's maybe looked at the lack of players playing from outside of uk/Ireland and decided to stick where he is for the time being as he's getting competitive games with Luxembourg. If he doesn't get a senior cap this month or next month then imo he's just stringing them along as you'd expect they'd try to cap him and tie him to them asap.

Luxembourg finish bottom of their under19 qualifying group, while Sweden come third in a group with Scotland and Wales. 

Food for thought for young Ryan. 

He doesn’t seem too happy anyway and has taken a swipe at the Macedonians on Instagram after they beat his current team today.

Playing for Inter is probably not as impressive these days as it was 10-15 years ago, playing for Bayern Munich at any level is always impressive.

The kid is 17, trains with the first team and has played for them in preseason. He's obviously a decent prospect.

I recall someone on here watching him in action for our under-18s in a friendly vs Wales and he was supposedly very impressive.

Trust your instincts.  It's the prestige of the club, often the League.  As you know mosts Fans chose FCs based on the prestige of the club and the League they play in.

Hes a 17 year old who's training with the first team and played a few games in the summer for their first team. There is plenty of hype over Troy Parrott so it is good to see he will be committing to us and adding to our u19 team which already is quality.

Born in Luxembourg and, like Rice, is dual nationality.  Well, triple even.

He can't play 19s this year cause he played in same competition with Luxembourg.
So only 21s this year and eligible for 19s again next year

He is certainly one granny rule player who is very much Irish. 

Did I see a tweet today saying his mother is English born or Irish descent?

In that case he's also eligible for the Tans.

Yes. His mother was born in England and moved to Ireland aged 10.
His mam's dad is from Mullingar and his granny from Clare.

I wonder have they tried to contact him? They seem to love a good Bundesliga prospect in their youth teams at the moment.

Not sure but once he plays for us, at any level, that's it as he has switched once already.

Was talking to that bayern season ticket holder we know about it says he  will watch him and report back. Said he would go in his finn harps jersey. You could switch colours and go see the young lad play LOL.

He is of course eligible for Stephen Kenny's team right now (there is no lower age limit).

The timing is interesting - had he not switched he may well have been lining out AGAINST our U21s in March! Weirdly now, his first match for us could be that very same U21 game against Luxembourg. (Though presumably he'll miss that one with the paperwork having to go through). 

Delighted he has declared for us.  God bless the power of the Irish Mammy. 

Is this the first Irish player to play a senior match for Bayern Munich?

When he moved to Bayern they started to play him deeper in midfield and he's even play full back for them. Think he played all the summer friendlies as a RB for them. If he does make it at senior level you'd be hoping that he'd be playing alongside someone like Rice in midfield.

We’ve got ourselves a “Wonderkid”. Rarer than unicorns. If Jack Grealish had a sex change and gave birth to Deco Rice’s triplets on the 29th of Feb, the third child is only 50/50 to be a “Wonderkid” Thats what we’re talking about here. A true miracle.

If just four or five of our current prospects aged twenty and under can live up to the hype then we’re in for a few very good years. 

Goalkeepers: Kelleher, Banzunu.

Defenders: Wilson, O’Connor, Nolan, Masterson (?) 

Midfielders: Coventry, Knight, Johansson, O’Connell, Bolger, Rice (??)

Attackers: Parrott, Idah, Cassidy, Connolly, McAuley, Obafemi, Ofalobi, Keena. 

I’m ignoring several lads here and discounting the likes of Dunne, Shaugnessy and Paudie O’Connor as they’re a bit further along in their development. 

But the majority of the above players are considered to be amongst the best prospects in their posistions at club level. 

Without getting carried away as we’ve been left disappointed by so many propsects over the years, but we could be on the verge of a golden generation and a young manager who likes to play decent football in Kenny, could work wonders. 

Question mark beside Masterson as his progress appears to be faltering a little of late.

'He's intelligent, tactically very capable and full of ambition': Bayern impressed by Irish-eligible teenager  http://the42.ie/4165267" rel="nofollow - http://the42.ie/4165267

Here he is playing for Bayern U19 against AEK Athens in the Uefa Youth League/Champions League. He's a year underage for that level. 

He comes on at 72 min and gets a very tidy assist.  Some other nice touches and good energy, making himself available for the ball all the time - a novel concept for Irish centre midfielders these days.  

A leggy player with a bit of a languid style .  He can clearly play, though gets caught out passing out from the back under pressure:

Trust your instincts.  It's the prestige of the club, often the League.  As you know mosts Fans chose FCs based on the prestige of the club and the League they play in.
