Borussia Dortmund have signed Germany international and last season's Bundesliga top scorer Niclas Fuellkrug from Werder Bremen on a three-year deal to boost their frontline after a lacklustre start to the season, the club said.
Dortmund, who missed out on the Bundesliga title last season after dramatically slipping up on the final matchday, needed an 88th minute goal by Donyell Malen to beat Cologne 1-0 in their opener.
Fuellkrug, who passed a medical late on Thursday, topped the scorer list last season with 16 goals, the same number as Christopher Nkunku. "He is powerful in the air, physically present and is strong in the one-on-ones and is uncomfortable for opponents. With these abilities he has the profile we were looking for."
