The 31-year-old frontman has agreed to remain at the German club with his previous contract due to expire in the summer, although the terms and length of his new deal are yet to be announced.

"We are delighted that Salomon has chosen to stay with us despite the other offers he received. He is an important part of this team and will be a big help to us to improve further in the future," said manager Michael Preetz.

Kalou originally joined Hertha in the summer of 2014 and has produced 30 goals and eight assists following 86 appearances for the club.
