Bayern Munich have announced the double signing of centre-back Niklas Sule and midfielder Sebastian Rudy from Bundesliga rivals Hoffenheim.

The pair will join up with the reigning league champions on July 1, with 21-year-old Sule signing a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

Rudy, 26, is available on a free transfer and has agreed a three-year contract.

"We are very satisfied and happy that Niklas Sule and Sebastian Rudy are coming to Bayern. The transfer of two German international players is also an investment in Bayern's future," chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge told the club's official website.

Sule, who made his international debut in a friendly last August, had previously been linked with Chelsea and Liverpool.
