Karlsruher SC attacker Louey Ben Farhat is reportedly set to join SC Freiburg.

According to Sky Germany, a full agreement has been reached between the two clubs, with Freiburg set to pay around €7 million to €7.5 million up front, plus a further €2.5 million in potential bonuses.

The report adds that Ben Farhat will remain at Karlsruhe on loan for the rest of the season.

Eintracht Frankfurt were also linked with a move for the youngster, but now appear to have missed out on him.

Ben Farhat has scored nine goals and provided three assists in 36 appearances for Karlsruhe.

The 20-year-old has also made two appearances for Tunisia’s senior national team.
