Bayern confirm they're signing teenage sensation Alphonso Davies

Alphonso Davies will join Bayern Munich from the Vancouver Whitecaps in January, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has confirmed.

Sources confirmed to Goal on Tuesday evening that Bayern and the Canadian club had agreed on a transfer fee, with The Athletic and TSN reporting on Tuesday that the base cost is an MLS-record $13 million (£10m/€11m), with escalator clauses that could see the fee rise to $19 million.

Davies was in Philadelphia on Tuesday to complete his physical and agree on personal terms, the final steps to completing the deal, before CEO Rummenigge confirmed that the player would arrive in Bavaria in the new year.
