Jakub Blaszczykowski, scoring for Poland against Switzerland, was one of the stars of Euro 2016.
Wolfsburg have signed the Poland midfielder Jakub Blaszczykowski from their Bundesliga rivals Borussia Dortmund.
Wolfsburg said the 30-year-old signed a three-year contract. Both clubs agreed not to disclose the transfer fee though Kicker magazine reported it as being around €5m (£4.2m).
The Wolfsburg sporting director, Klaus Allofs, said: "Blaszczykowski is a player that will do any team good. Not only because of his footballing capabilities but also because he is a model of dedication, commitment and passion and because he gives 100% to his team."
Blaszczykowski, who played 197 Bundesliga games for Dortmund, winning the league in 2011 and 2012, spent last season on loan at Fiorentina. Injuries hampered his time in Serie A, but he impressed at Euro 2016 with Poland, although he missed the decisive penalty in the quarter-final shootout against Portugal.
