Xinhua, July 18, 2015 Adjust font size:

Hannover signed Turkey international Mevluet Erdinc from French outfit AS Saint-Etienne, the German Bundesliga club confirmed via the club's official homepage on Friday.

The "Reds" bolster their offence with the signing of striker Erdinc, who put pen to paper on three-year deal that keeps him until June 2018 with the Lower Saxony side. The new arrival received the shirt number 39.

"We have worked hard on this transfer because it was clear to us that Mevluet Erdinc is that type of striker we want to have. We are delighted that he is a player of Hannover from now on. He is a dynamic and robust team player," Hannover's sporting director Dirk Dufner said.

The 28-year-old striker played already for a number of French top-flight clubs, such as Stade Rennes, Paris Saint-Germain and FC Sochaux. He provided overall 110 assist and 82 goals in 256 appearances. Besides that, he donated eight goals in 33 caps for Turkey's national team.

"It makes me proud to wear the shirt of Hannover for the future. My goal is to be successful with the team," Erdinc said.

Hannover face newly promoted Darmstadt at the first round in Bundesliga on August 15. Endi
