Bayern on Thurdsay announced the capture of Oddo on a one-year loan deal, with the option of making the move permanent next summer. He had been expected to sign for French champions Lyon, but instead made the move to Bayern, where he will team up with 2006 World Cup winner Luca Toni, who had an outstanding first season at the Alianz Arena last term after joining from Fiorentina.

"It's all happened incredibly fast. I need to organise a few personal matters," he told FCB.tv, confirming that he will not be available for the next match against Hertha Berlin.

"I knew I was moving to a big club with a great team, but now I'm here and I've seen everything for myself, it's all completely positive," he added, before shedding light on some details surrounding how his deal was reached.

"We were in touch last year but nothing came of it," Oddo revealed, "but I wanted to leave Milan this summer and a number of clubs were interested. That's when Bayern revived their interest.“

"Coming here was the best decision I could have made.

"I want to prove I'm worth my wages," he added, "although I can only do that with the support of the whole team.“

"My first impression is that we have a very strong squad.“
