Former Chelsea target Niklas Sule has described signing for Bayern Munich as "a once in a lifetime opportunity," insisting "a move to England wasn't yet right" after opting to join the Bundesliga champions ahead of the Premier League leaders.
Spurning interest from Chelsea, Sule, 21, signed a five-year deal at Bayern until 2022 for a reported fee of around €25 million. Hoffenheim teammate and fellow Germany international defender Sebastian Rudy will also join the Bavarians this summer on a free transfer.
"I had good talks with the bosses at Bayern and Hoffenheim," Sule told Sky Deutschland.
