Started out as a striker, scoring more than 100 goals in a season for youth team Rot-Weiss Walldorf. Was asked to fill in at centre-back after joining the Hoffenheim academy aged 15 and has not looked back. The 6ft 5in Germany international has been a stalwart of the Bayern defence since his arrival in 2017. Missed much of the 2019-20 season after suffering a cruciate ligament injury in October - a blow Bayern president Uli Hoeness described as "a total catastrophe".
