Wolfsburg have signed Fiorentina striker Mario Gomez.

Gomez has officially joined Wolfsburg for €7m after Juventus confirmed the Simone Zaza move is off.

"We have dealt with a commitment from Mario Gomez in the winter," Wolfsburg director Klaus Allofs told the club website.

“The more we are pleased that we finally made it. Mario is a striker of international calibre, who will bring in addition to its playful quality and a vast experience in our team. It fits with our ambitions perfectly."

Coach Dieter Hecking also welcomed the veteran hitman to Wolfsburg.

“Mario is the best German striker for me. His successes and his strike rate speak for themselves. He also holds leader qualities and has clear ideas that are congruent with ours. He fits our team and the club."
