Bayern Munich sign Kingsley Coman on permanent deal

Coman was nearing the end of a two-year loan deal from the Italian champions, and Bayern have exercised an option in the deal to make the move permanent.

"Kingsley Coman is an important building block for the future of our team, so we decided to take the option," Bayern chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said on the club's website.

"Kingsley is a hopeful player with great potential. We are convinced that he will help us in the coming years."

Coman, 20, began his career with Paris St Germain and became their youngest ever player when he appeared at the age of 16 years, eight months and four days, but he did not renew his contract with the Ligue 1 giants and joined Juventus in 2014.

He made 19 appearances in his first season in Italy but then agreed to head to Germany where he has convinced Bayern of his value.
