Another German prodigy is heading to Bayern Munich as the club announced on Friday that 19-year-old defensive midfielder Joshua Kimmich will arrive at the Allianz Arena in July.

Kimmich, who was part of the Germany squad that won the U-19 European Championship, is on loan at second division Bundesliga side RB Leipzig, where he's already made 13 league appearances this season. However, the loan deal expires at the end of the 2014-15 campaign due to an option in Kimmich's contract, paving the way for his move to Pep Guardiola's side.

He'll sign a five-year deal upon arriving at Bayern that will keep him with the club until 2020.
