JAKARTA - Hertha Berlin brought in a member of the 2014 German world champion team Sami Khedira from Juventus, Monday, February 1. This Bundesliga club is trying to improve the quality of their squad to avoid relegation.

No details were released on the midfielder's contract term.

Khedira started his career at VfB Stuttgart and also played for Real Madrid for five years before joining Italian champions Juventus in 2015.

"I feel physically very well and I want to help the team and Hertha to succeed at a sporting level using my experience," Khedira said in a statement quoted by Reuters.

Hertha, who sacked coach Bruno Labbadia and replaced him with Pal Dardai last week, has won only one of their last nine Bundesliga matches and lost the last three in a row.

Investor Lars Windhorst has pumped more than 200 million euros into the club in the last year but the team is currently in 15th place, level with Arminia Bielefeld who are 16th in the relegation playoff zone.

With a myriad of experiences and trophies lined up in his closet, can Khedira lift morale and save the team nicknamed Die Alte Dame aka the Old Lady from the threat of relegation? There is half a season for Khedira to provide evidence.

Thank you for everything @SamiKhedira and good luck! ➡️https: //t.co/H3LDQGWG4f pic.twitter.com/3c9KgRit1z
