Chelsea starlet Martell Taylor-Crossdale has become the latest English youngster lured to the Bundesliga.
England under-18s international Taylor-Crossdale, 19, will travel to Germany on Monday to undergo a medical and complete a move to Hoffenheim.
Taylor-Crossdale will follow in the footsteps of the likes of Jadon Sancho, Reece Oxford, Reiss Nelson and Ademola Lookman who moved to Germany to get more first team opportunities and boost their careers.
Fulham teenager Cody Drameh, 17, is another as he prepares to join Eintracht Frankfurt after travelling to Germany for a medical this week.
Sancho has forced his way into the England senior squad and German clubs continue to try and sign the best young English talent.
Londoner Taylor-Crossdale has been a prolific scorer through the various age groups and was the Under-18 Premier League top scorer in 2016/17 with 21 goals.
He will move to Germany after his contract at Chelsea expired and hopes game time and opportunities at Hoffenheim will reap rewards.
Meanwhile, Augsburg want to sign 20-year-old West Ham defender Oxford on a permanent deal after having him on loan last season.
Augsburg are insisting on a four year contract which has been a sticking point and a three year deal or a contract containing a buy-out clause could still get the deal done.
