Donovan, a five-time US Player of the Year, will be competing for minutes against the likes of Luca Toni, Miroslav Klose, and Lukas Podolski, not to mention the newly acquired Croatian international striker Ivica Olic.
Commenting on Donovan and his ten-week loan, Klinsmann enthused: "The lad's fired up and wants to prove himself, which I find amazing. He's capable of real surprise moments up front.
"He wants to convince the powers that be, myself included, that he's the right player for Bayern. He certainly has the determination.
"We're all excited by him. He'll get playing time, in the friendlies, in the DFB Cup, and in the Bundesliga. He has unbelievable pace and dribbling skill, he looks for the one-on-one situations, and he scores goals."
Donovan will be hoping for the chance to debut for Bayern when they recommence the Bundesliga season away to Hamburger SV on January 30.
