Germany international Max Kruse will join VfL Wolfsburg from Borussia Mönchengladbach next season. The news was confirmed by Wolfsburg's general manager Klaus Allofs following his team's 3-1 victory in Paderborn on Sunday. "We are very happy that Max Kruse has decided to join VfL Wolfsburg. He is a type of striker that was still missing in our squad and he will definitely boost our quality and options in attack," explained Allofs. Kruse will sign a four-year-deal in Wolfsburg.
Kruse, 27-years-old, joined Gladbach from SC Freiburg in the summer of 2013. In Gladbach, he developed into a Germany international and earned first nominations from coach Joachim Löw for the friendlies against Ecuador and the United States in May 2013. He has so far made eleven appearances for Germany, scoring one goal. "I look forward to taking my next career step in Wolfsburg. I was immediately aware that I wanted to join VfL following good discussions with Klaus Allofs and Dieter Hecking (Wolfsburg's coach). Their playing style suits me and their squad is full of quality players," said Kruse. "My focus will be on Gladbach for the remaining two games. After the summer break, I will look to contribute to a successful future in Wolfsburg."
Wolfsburg coach Hecking, who led the team into the Champions League this season, said: "Max has great technical abilities. He is fast, scores lots of goals and provides assists. He has continually developed into a better player over the years and is currently a key performer at his club. His arrival will boost the quality of our attack, which will be very important looking ahead to the next season."
