Wolfsburg have signed Poland midfielder Jakub Blaszczykowski from Borussia Dortmund.

The 30-year-old has signed a deal until 2019. Both clubs have agreed not to disclose the transfer fee but it has been reported that Wolfsburg have paid Dortmund around 5m euros.

Wolfsburg sporting director Klaus Allofs told the club website: "Blaszczykowski is a player that will do any team good. Not only because of his footballing capabilities, but also because he is a model of dedication, commitment and passion and because he gives 100 per cent to his team."

Blaszczykowski, who played 197 Bundesliga games for Dortmund, winning the league in 2011 and 2012, spent last season on loan at Serie A side Fiorentina.

Injuries hampered his time in Italy, though he impressed at Euro 2016 with Poland.
