Denmark striker Morten Rasmussen has joined Bundesliga club Mainz on a one-year loan from Scottish club Celtic.

Mainz says it also has an option to buy the 25-year-old Rasmussen, who passed a medical on Thursday.

Rasmussen's arrival comes after Burkina Faso striker Aristide Bance left Mainz to join Al Ahli in Dubai.
