KEHL AGREES BAYERN DEAL
GERMAN champions Bayern Munich have won the race for Freiburg's German international midfielder Sebastian Kehl.
The Bavarians' general manager Uli Hoeness revealed that Kehl had agreed to move to Munich after talks last summer, following the player's earlier denial that an agreement had been reached.
The 21-year old has a contract at Freiburg until the summer of 2003 and it is still uncertain when he will leave the Dreisam Stadion.
"He will be here in 2003 at the latest," said Hoeness, "We have left him to decide whether he wants to move in time for next season or not."
News of the agreement will come as a blow to top Bundesliga clubs Borussia Dortmund, Schalke and Hertha Berlin who had all been linked with the talented midfielder.
