German Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen have reached an agreement to secure the signing of Senegalese defender Abdoulaye Faye.
According to sources, the club has reached an agreement with Swedish club BK Hacken to make the deal possible.
In the last 24 hours, several news portals in German have reported that the move is now a done deal.
Faye, a highly-rated young centre-back, is viewed by Leverkusen as a player with significant potential for long-term development.
While the move is permanent, the club intends to give the 20-year-old time to continue progressing.
Leverkusen plans to loan Faye out immediately after completing the transfer, allowing him to gain valuable first-team experience at a higher level.
The destination of the loan has yet to be confirmed, with several options currently under consideration.
The Senegalese youngster is excited about the move and hopes to use his time at Bayern Leverkusen to take his career to the next level.
