GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany (AP) — Veteran Dutch striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar rejoined struggling Schalke from Ajax on Tuesday.
Schalke said the 37-year-old Huntelaar, who scored 126 goals in 240 competitive games in his previous stint at the German club between 2010-17, signed a deal to the end of the season. Schalke did not give financial details of the move
Schalke is hoping Huntelaar can help it avoid relegation. The Gelsenkirchen-based club is last in the Bundesliga with just one win nearly halfway through the season.
“His sporting qualities are undisputed. He showed that again last week with a brace,” Schalke sporting director Jochen Schneider said.
