Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has returned to Bundesliga strugglers Schalke 04 from Ajax.
The Dutch striker was a prolific scorer for the German side from 2010-17, helping them win the German Cup in 2011. He scored 126 goals in 240 games before joining Ajax in 2017.
But Schalke have fallen on hard times as they are last in the league standings. They broke a 30-match winless streak last week thanks to the sensational three-goal debut of United States youngster Matthew Hoppe, but Huntelaar's veteran presence could provide a boost in the relegation fight.
After he scored twice in Ajax's 3-1 win over FC Twente last week, Huntelaar told ESPN that he was interested in a return to Schalke, but had also previously hinted at retirement.
"What do I lean towards? Difficult... There is something to be said for everything," Huntelaar said. "Schalke are in more trouble, they need me more, so that is more of a feeling choice.
"Ajax are a bit more stable and perhaps a bit nicer in terms of ending, with the possible title, the cup tournament and European football."
Huntelaar, 37, has also had stints at AC Milan and Real Madrid. He last played for the Netherlands national squad in 2015.
