Former Crystal Palace midfielder Max Meyer has completed a return to the Bundesliga, signing with Cologne.
The German saw his contract at Selhurst Park torn up earlier this month after failing to earn regular first-team football under Roy Hodgson.
The Eagles were also keen to get his huge £170,000-a-week wages off of their books with Hodgson wanting to invest in other areas of the squad.
But Meyer is now back in his native Germany, signing with Cologne on a short-term contract until the end of the season.
He is back in the Bundesliga after a two-and-a-half-year absence, having previously been one of the hottest prospects in European football at Schalke.
