Eintracht Frankfurt have signed full-back Erik Durm on a free transfer from Huddersfield Town.

The 27-year-old, a World Cup winner with Germany in 2014, left the Terriers when his one-year contract expired in June and the Championship club did not take up the option to extend his deal for a further year.

Sky Sports News learnt in June that Durm had refused an offer to re-join former Huddersfield boss David Wagner at his new club Schalke.

He has now joined Bundesliga rivals Eintracht Frankfurt on a four-year deal running through to June 2023.

"My year in England was a great experience," Durm said in a press conference on Wednesday. "The Premier League is one of the best leagues in the world with a lot of great teams and top players.

"I can take a lot of positives from my time there, even though we didn't manage to stay in the top flight."
