However, the Ivorian has decided to continue his career with Hertha, following a two-year stint in France with Lille.

"Salomon Kalou is a top striker who has proven his class in the Premier League, the Champions League and with his national team. We are delighted that he is with us," managing director Michael Preetz told the club's official website.

Meanwhile, Kalou added: "After my time in England and France, I am totally looking forward to Hertha BSC and the Bundesliga."
