Hertha Berlin have announced the €27m signing of Krzysztof Piatek from AC Milan just a day before the transfer window closes.
The Bundesliga outfit have fended off strong competition from London clubs Tottenham and Chelsea for the Poland striker's signature.
Speaking following the confirmation, Hertha's managing director Michael Preetz said on Thursday: With Krzysztof we have a highly talented attacker who is impressive at the highest level of his goalscoring and attacking quality, both in Serie A and in the national team.
'Through him, we now have even more quality on the offensive.'
Milan also said on a statement: "AC Milan announces the agreement with Hertha BSC for the definitive transfer of the player Krzysztof Piątek to the German Club."
"The Club would like to thank the player for his professional commitment and wishes him all the best for his future career."

🤣 I'm laughing right now because he did say last summer that he want his price tag go up for 70m in his next move and now we just sold him for 27m 😆 dude before you open your mouth about your worth just work on your game because to be good striker you should score every time you play I now our team don't have good midfielders but this should not be excuse for you poor form as you just score 2 goals from open play in 18 matches as Theo who's LB have more open goal than him 😉 Piatek thanks for gun celebration as we had good times last season together 👏

It's very bad how players such as Piatek,Jovic, Alcacer who were good at their teams are bn forced to other teams bcos of new arrivals etc. I remember we heard Jovic's name almost every week at Frankfurt,but now he is a "flop" at Madrid. Piatek was great at his former club b4 moving to Ac Milan,where he continued his excellent form until in recent months. Alcacer was everything at Dortmund in his early days,some fans were even laughing at Barca for letting such a talent leave them. But now he is out of Dortmund. Hopefully they will regain their excellent forms. All the best to them all ,and many others.

At Milan, Piatek came with 'Glock 17' and left with 'pistol’.

Ibra can’t play 90 mins at the highest level. Leao is young and plays more in the wing Why sell Piatek If one gets injured the other suspended who is going to play as striker? Calabria!!! He should’ve stayed and accepted the bench. All big teams have 27 good player and just rotate I don’t get it
