Southampton defender Armel Bella-Kotchap is in London undergoing a medical ahead of a loan move to Bayern Munich.
That?s according to journalist Christian Falk, who says the potential transfer to the Allianz Arena is ?hot again? following weeks of speculation.
Bella-Kotchap has long been expected to join the exodus from Southampton this summer as their squad is completely reshaped following relegation to the Championship last season.
He?s found himself in a tug of war between Bayern and Borussia Dortmund over the last few weeks, but a report earlier today indicated that the latter had stepped aside, leaving him free to go to Bayern.
That report indicated that Bella-Kotchap had already reached an agreement on personal terms with Bayern and was waiting for them to strike an agreement with Southampton before potentially making a deadline day move. Falk now reports a deal has been struck on a loan deal that will see the German giants pay ?3.5m for the privilege. He doesn?t mention if there is a purchase clause or obligation included.
What he does say is the agreement is now in place and Bella-Kotchap is undergoing a medical in London ahead of completing his transfer.
