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.
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.
