Ukraine and Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Anatoliy Tymoshchuk will join Bayern Munich for next season, Bayern team manager Uli Hoeness said yesterday.

Tymoshchuk, 29, is expected to arrive at Bayern at the start of July, Hoeness said.

No financial details of the contract were revealed but German media reports put the deal at 14 million euros ($17.89 million).

"It is my understanding that we will have the player in Munich by July 1," Hoeness told reporters, adding he could come earlier depending on the Russian championship season and the domestic transfer rules.
