Bayern Munich have completed the $1.5 million capture of teenage defender Chris Richards from MLS side FC Dallas.
Goal revealed in early January that a deal was on the cards for the 18-year-old centre-half.
Confirmation has now arrived, with the youngster penning a four-and-a-half-year deal with the Bundesliga champions.
Richards was initially loaned to Bayern’s U19 side in the summer of 2018 and has impressed during his time in Germany.
He formed part of the club’s senior squad at the 2018 Audi Summer Tour and has now been tied to a contract which is due to run until 2023.
