Bayern Munich Announce Signing of German Youngster Jann-Fiete Arp From Hamburger SV

Bayern Munich have completed the signing of Jann-Fiete Arp from Hamburg, with the 19-year-old striker set to move the Allianz Arena within the next two years.

Arp has been linked with a move to Bayern since last summer after Hamburg's shock relegation to the second tier of German football, and despite rival interest from Chelsea, the Bundesliga champions have held off the competition to complete the signing.

It was announced on Bayern's website that Arp will remain a Hamburg player at least until the end of the season and possibly during the 2019/20 season as well, but he will definitely join Niko Kovac's side no later than the summer of 2020.
