Juventus midfielder Sami Khedira has completed an exit from the club and joins Bundesliga outfit Hertha Berlin.
Sami Khedira has completed a move to Hertha Berlin from Juventus on deadline day.
The German brings his time in Turin to an end by making a move back to the Bundesliga.
Khedira had been linked with Tottenham and Everton and fuelled the transfer speculation by saying he was considering the prospect of playing in the Premier League.
Having once played for Stuggart, he has now returned to the Bundesliga by signing for Hertha on a free transfer.
“In Sami Khedira we are getting a top player who has been under contract with some of Europe’s top clubs.” Hertha sporting director Arne Friedrich told the club’s official website.
“He will help us immediately with his experience in the Champions League, Serie A, La Liga and also with the national team at the World Cup and European Championships”
“We were together at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and played together on the pitch. I know the leadership qualities that he has and am therefore very pleased he is a Hertha BSC player.”
Khedira is looking forward to aiding Hertha in their bid to climb away from relegation trouble.
“Hertha made great efforts to sign me and offered me the opportunity to return to the Bundesliga,” he said.
“I’m grateful for that and I honestly cannot wait for the moment when I’ll be wearing the blue and white shirt on the pitch for the first time.”
