Bayern Munich set to sign New Zealand youngster Sarpreet Singh | OneFootball

After impressing at the U-20 World Cup, Sarpreet Singh is set to make one of the biggest moves in New Zealand football history.

According to Bild, the Wellington Phoenix attacking midfielder will sign for Bayern Munich in the coming days.

Singh is reportedly already in Munich to finalise a multi-year move that Bayern very much wanted to keep under wraps.

At just 20 years old, Singh developed himself into a regular starter for the A-League side, scoring five goals and adding seven assists in 25 appearances (22 starts).

Although he is consistently in the New Zealand U-20 squad, Singh made his senior-team debut in March 2018 and has earned four caps for the Kiwis.

Though Singh will likely start with the Bayern reserves, it would arguably be the biggest signing out of New Zealand since Wynton Rufer joined Werder Bremen in 1989, one season after they won the Bundesliga.

Singh would become the first Kiwi to sign for Bayern Munich in the club’s history.
