Werder Bremen have finally completed the signing of Germany Under-21 international Marko Marin.

The 20-year-old midfielder has signed a four-year contract to officially seal his £6.5million transfer from Borussia Moenchengladbach.

Gladbach were reported to be holding out for a fee in the region of £10million for their prize asset but decided to sell as Marin's contract only had 12 months left to run.

The two clubs had been at loggerheads since last month but the transfer has now been completed.

Marin has been signed to help fill the midfield playmaker void created by the departure of Brazil star Diego to Juventus since the end of the last Bundesliga season.
