According to reports in the British press, Nico Hulkenberg has agreed a deal to race for Sauber next year.
The BBC have reported that the German has signed a contract with the team although neither party has made an official announcement on the matter.
There is an opening at Sauber with Sergio Perez heading to McLaren to replace Lewis Hamilton, but it is believed that Sauber may decide to go with an all-new line-up in 2013 with Kamui Kobayashi replaced by the team's current reserve driver, Esteban Gutierrez.
