( CNN ) -- German striking legend Miroslav Klose has signed a two-year contract with Italian side Lazio , following his failure to agree a new deal with Bayern Munich . The 33-year-old leaves the Bavarian giants after four years at the club , although he endured a disappointing season just gone , scoring just once after making most of his 20 appearances from the substitutes ' bench . Klose , who is joint second with compatriot Gerd Mueller in the list of all-time World Cup scorers with 14 goals in three different tournaments , told reporters : `` I am looking forward to this new experience and want to help Lazio get back up the Serie A table . '' Liverpool close to Henderson deal . Speaking about the transfer , Lazio sporting director Igli Tare told German channel Sport1 : `` We hope he brings his skills to us and scores the goals to put Lazio back up where we belong , to be one of Europe 's biggest clubs . '' Klose , who has netted 61 goals in 109 appearances for Germany and is closing in on Mueller 's all-time record of 68 goals , is keen to play in the finals of Euro 2012 and his move hias been welcomed by his national coach Joachim Loew . Loew told reporters : `` It 's good for Miroslav if he plays at a club where he is used regularly again . '' Klose made his debut for Germany in March 2001 , in a 2-1 victory over Albania , and made his name at Kaiserslautern before joining Werder Bremen in 2004 and then Bayern in 2007 . He helped Bayern win the German league and cup double in his first year at the club and helped them reclaim the league title in 2010 , as well as reaching the final of the Champions League , where they lost to Inter Milan . Meanwhile , Liverpool have completed the biggest signing of the close season so far with the $ 33m capture of England international midfielder Jordan Henderson from Premier League rivals Sunderland . The 20-year-old has signed a long-term deal with the club and becomes manager Kenny Dalglish 's third signing , followingon from Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez , since he returned for a second spell in charge at Anfield . Henderson told Liverpool 's official website : `` Obviously it 's hard to leave your local club . I 'm a Sunderland lad , I 've supported them all my life . `` But I 'm really looking forward to the future now and obviously this is a massive opportunity for me . I 'm really excited by it . ''
