Tom Bischof has snubbed reported interest from the Premier League and signed a four-year contract with Bayern Munich.
The midfielder will join Bayern this summer on a free transfer when his contract with Hoffenheim expires.
Bischof, 19, was born in Bavaria but came through the ranks at Hoffenheim before making his debut in 2022, aged just 16.
He made 53 first-team appearances and was reportedly on the radar of Arsenal and Aston Villa.
Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund told the club’s official website: “Tom Bischof is one of Germany’s greatest talents, who also attracts international interest.
“At only 19 years old, he has already gained a lot of experience in professional football, in the Bundesliga as well as the DFB-Pokal and the Europa League. Tom fits our philosophy perfectly as a technically gifted midfielder. We are happy that he has decided to take his next steps at FC Bayern. Tom has all the assets to succeed at the highest level.
