Ghana midfielder Ibrahim 'Rahim' Ayew has agreed a three-year deal with German Bundesliga side TSG Hoffenheim for an undisclosed fee next season.

The 21-year-old's local side Eleven Wise claim is subject to his medicals before the move can be completed.

Rahim impressed Hoffenheim officials at last month's CHAN tournament in La Cote D'Ivoire and helped the local national team to win silver.

"I can confirm to you that Rahim is moving to Germany on Sunday for his medicals and then put-pen-to-paper if he passes. We have agreed to the terms of the contract," Wise CEO Jamil Maraby told Ghanasoccernet.com

"When he returns on Thursday, he will then pick up the work here and join the club next season."

He will join compatriot Isaac Vorsah if the deal is completed by the close of next week. Hoffenheim is currently fourth on the Bundesliga table.

Rahim played his rookie season for the Sekondi-based side and helped them to sixth-place for the first half of the season.
