Madrid: Toni Kroos will be unveiled as Real Madrid’s latest high profile signing on Thursday after the European champions agreed a six-year deal to sign the Germany World Cup winner from Bayern Munich.

The 24-year-old playmaker moves to the European champions on the back of an outstanding World Cup.

He scored two goals in as many minutes in the 7-1 semi-final rout of Brazil, en route to overcoming Argentina 1-0 in Sunday’s final.

Kroos is due to be unveiled by his new employers at a press conference later today.

Real hailed their latest catch as “one of the most important players of the moment”.

In the statement confirming his arrival the club described him as “a playmaker capable of finding the best option in any situation, with a vision of the game enabling him to help his teammates, as well as an impressive kick.”

The path from the World Cup to Spain could also see Monaco’s Colombia hotshot James Rodriguez join Kroos at Real.

The World Cup’s top scorer with six goals told Spanish sports daily Marca on Monday: “I’d jump at the chance of going to Real Madrid.” (AFP)
