After a disappointing first campaign at Wolfsburg, the striker has returned to the club where he made his Bundesliga debut and hopes to help the club "regain strength"
Werder Bremen has completed the signing of Germany international Max Kruse from Wolfsburg for an undisclosed fee.
Kruse joined Wolfsburg from Borussia Monchengladbach ahead of the 2015-16 season, but scored just nine goals in 43 appearances in a difficult debut campaign.
The 28-year-old striker has now returned to the club where he made his Bundesliga debut in 2007 and hopes to help steer them back towards the upper reaches of the table.
