Egyptian striker Mohamed Zidan has rejoined German club FSV Mainz 05 from rivals Werder Bremen.
The Egypt international Mohamed Zidan has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with the Mainz-based club.
In one swift move, Zidan has gone from a team leading the league to the one that props up the Bundesliga.
"Zidan is now officially a Mainz player," Christian Heidel, football manager and official spokesman, said on Wednesday.
"We struggled hard to convince Bremen to let him go and we are ecstatic that we succeeded in doing that."
Zidan, who joined Bremen in 2004 from Danish club FC Midtjylland, was loaned to rivals Mainz last year after failing to hold down a regular place in Bremen''s squad.
He went on to score 9 goals, including one against German giants Bayern Munich, in 27 appearances.
In his second spell, Zidan will face a tough task trying to help Mainz escape releagtion.
The club have eleven points from 17 games, and have yet to win away all season.
Zidan will have to wait until the resumption of the Bundesliga after its winter break for his first game, which is likely to be at VFL Bochum on Saturday 27 January.
