Former Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich playmaker Mario Gotze has signed a two-year deal with PSV Eindhoven.
The 28-year-old was a free agent after his contract with Dortmund expired.
Gotze scored the winning goal for Germany in the 2014 World Cup final but has struggled to hold down a first-team place in recent years due to injury issues.
“I kept on training and got myself fit for the new adventure," he told the club website. "I am looking forward to joining my new team mates for full training and preparing myself for the upcoming fixtures.”
"I had a lot of offers this summer but I am a man of feeling and make my own decisions. I feel I am ready for a very different challenge and I am confident that this should be a very comfortable transition for me."
He spent four years with Dortmund from 2009-13 before leaving to join Bayern Munich. After three years at the Allianz Arena he returned to Dortmund, but only started five Bundesliga matches last season.
Elsewhere, Chelsea confirmed that Marco van Ginkel has returned to PSV on loan for the 2020/21 season – it is his third spell with the club.
