Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich have confirmed their first signing ahead of the January transfer window. 30-year-old striker Sandro Wagner has arrived from fellow German club Hoffenheim on a deal lasting until June 2020.
 
After putting pen to paper on a contract with his boyhood club, Wagner said: “I’m delighted. A long journey for me is now at an end and I can return to my home, my club. I’m very happy that it’s come off. Bayern are the best club in Germany and one of the best in the world. When I got the offer, I didn’t have to think about it for long.
 
For several transfer windows, the Bavarian giants have been looking for an alternative centre-forward to Robert Lewandowski and now they have their man.
 
Sporting director Hasan Salihamidžić said: “In Sandro Wagner we have another Germany international coming to Bayern. We’re convinced that Sandro will enhance our squad with his class and his experience.”
