The 17-year-old midfield talent joins Bochum with immediate effect. Göttlicher is scheduled to undergo a medical tomorrow, Friday.

Should everything go according to plan, Göttlicher will subsequently sign a five-and-a-half-year contract with the 2.Bundesliga side.

Sky Germany's very own transfer journalist Florian Plettenberg reports that Bochum will pay a very low six-figure transfer fee to Bayern.
