Eintracht Frankfurt have completed the permanent signing of Turkey international striker Halil Altintop, following his release by Schalke.

The 27-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan with Michael Skibbe's side, scoring three times in 15 Bundesliga outings.

That was enough to convince Frankfurt to hand Altintop a two-year contract, with chairman Heribert Bruchhagen telling the club's official website: "I am delighted that we have been able to fulfil the coach's wishes in signing Halil Altintop."

Altintop started his professional career with Wattenscheid, before enjoying spells with Kaiserslautern and Schalke, heading to his hometown club in Gelsenkirchen in the summer of 2006.
