The Denmark international has moved to Germany on a four-year deal after just one season at Boro.

The 23-year-old joined Boro from Ajax, but made only 13 Premier League appearances, and failed to score, as the club were relegated from the top flight.

The winger, who has 15 international appearances for Denmark, will be at the Bundesliga club until 2021.

Talking to the club's website, Fischer said: "Mainz is the right club for me to enjoy my football again.
