Džeko has played in Germany before, famously winning the 2008/09 Bundesliga title with Wolfsburg. The 39-year-old, who has also represented Manchester City - where he lifted two English Premier League titles - Roma, Inter Milan and Fenerbahçe, has signed a deal with the current Bundesliga 2 leaders until the end of the season.

“After our initial contact, Edin made it clear very quickly just how keen he was on the move. With Edin, we’re bringing in a striker who has performed at the very highest level throughout his career," said Youri Mulder, Schalke's director of professional football.

"Alongside his experience as a leader, our team will benefit from his abilities as a target man and goalscorer. He showed very clearly how hungry he is for a successful second half of the season with us during our conversations, and we’re really looking forward to that.”
