Bayern Munich said in a statement that the players signed a new contract after long negotiations as he doesn't have regular football.

"I know it will be a tough challenge but I'm sure I can improve and book a place in the starting lineup," said Ottl.

The 22-year old midfielder lost his place in the squad for Brazilian Ze Roberto who came back to the Bavarian giants at the beginning of the season.

Andreas Ottl is a production of the Bayern Youth center and has been promoted to the senior squad by former coach Felix Magath.
