The striker joins, subject to visa and work permit, for £15.4million with an option to extend his contract for a further 12 months.

The 25-year-old, who was not available for last night’s Premier League trip to Bournemouth, arrives at Molineux after three years in Germany, where he scored 24 goals in 60 games for Stuttgart.

He said: “I’m two metres tall, but also not bad with my feet. I’m just hungry to score goals. I want to play good football and score many goals.

“I want to play attractive football. I’m a team player, I want to help the team, that’s the most important thing in the end. When the team is looking good, I’m looking good as well. This is my aim for the upcoming matches.

“Everyone tells me the Premier League is the toughest league, it’s the NBA of football. I’m just excited to prove myself against the best because in this league the best players are playing.

“I want to develop as a player, as a person, and want to get as soon as possible to score, to show myself, and I’m really happy about it and looking forward to it.

“I’m happy it’s all been finished. It was a long, tough day, but in the end everything went well. I’m really thankful and really happy to be here. It was the club that wanted me the most in the end.

“In my career, at my age, it’s important to feel where the next step is and, in the end, I had the feeling Wolverhampton is the best step for my development.

“I had good talks with the coaches, and I met some players from the team. Everyone was so kind and so nice.

“I know that I won’t regret my decision because the people were all so kind, they welcomed me and I’m looking forward to playing as soon as possible.”

And on getting to play at Molineux, he added: “I’m very excited. There is a little bit of nerves, but in a positive way, and I can’t wait to play in front of the fans, to see how it is. It is the best league in the world.

“The Bundesliga has amazing fans, but I think it’s different, and I want to experience it.

“ I was in England in a few stadiums as a fan, and it was really cool, and I want to experience it as a player. You can measure yourself with the best so I’m really looking forward to it.”
