4 clubs who must invest in the January Transfer Window

#3 Bayern Munich

The Bundesliga Giants are currently 3rd in the table, behind rivals Borussia Dortmund and surprise package Monchengladbach. While Dortmund lead the table with 42 points, Monchengladbach are currently second only on better goal difference, as they are equal with Bayern with 33 points. Bayern Munich have played a game less though, so they have a chance to move into the second position. However, they will have to be at their best to catch Dortmund this season and this is precisely why Bayern Munich need to indulge in the transfer market once it opens in January.

Dortmund have 11 more goals and have 9 more points, even though they have played a game more. Yet it is their performance and consistency that has caught the eye this time, as they have lost just 1 game in the Bundesliga so far. Bayern have not been up to their mark recently, they have drawn 3 and lost 3 of their 16 games, and need to step up a gear if they nurture any intentions of retaining the title.

Lucas Hernandez of Athletico Madrid and Benjamin Pavard of VfB Stuttgart have been linked to a move so far, but nothing can be confirmed as of yet. However, Niko Kovac will be desperate for reinforcements so that he can steer Bayern to the top of the table.
