Werder Bremen has swooped to sign veteran striker Claudio Pizarro until the end of the season, marking his third stint with the club.
Claudio Pizarro has joined Werder Bremen for the third time in his career after agreeing to a deal until the end of the season.
The veteran striker first represented the Bundesliga club from 1999 to 2001 before leaving for domestic rival Bayern Munich.
Pizarro returned to the Weserstadion on an initial loan deal in August 2008 following an unhappy spell with Chelsea in the Premier League before signing permanently a year later.
The Peru international again left for Bayern ahead of the 2012-13 season, but his contract at the Allianz Arena was not renewed at the end of last season, leaving him free to rejoin Bremen.
