Viktor Fischer leaves Middlesbrough for Mainz after one season

Middlesbrough forward Viktor Fischer has joined Mainz, the Bundesliga club have announced.

Fischer, 23, has moved to Germany on a four-year deal after just one season at Boro.

"Mainz is the right club for me to be able to really enjoy my football again," Fischer told the club's official website.

"I want to be a part of this team and this club quickly, find my form and show my qualities as an attacking player."

The Denmark international joined Boro from Ajax, but made only 13 Premier League appearances, and failed to score, as the club were relegated from the English top flight last season.
