Marko Marin has left Chelsea for Olympiakos after signing a three-year deal with the Greek side.

The 27-year-old's move away from London was confirmed on Tuesday after Marin underwent a medical at Olympiakos a day earlier.

Marin, who can play as both a winger and a central midfielder, signed for Chelsea from German club Werder Bremen for £6.5million in 2012 and went on to make his debut for the Blues in the 6-0 Capital One Cup win over Wolves in September of that year.

The winger was then handed his first Premier League start against QPR before scoring his first goal in a 4-1 victory over Wigan in February 2013.

But the goal wasn't enough to keep the player at Stamford Bridge and Marin was sent out on loan to Sevilla for the 2013/14 campaign.

He endured a frustrating injury-marred season in Spain, but collected a Europa League winner's medal during his time in Spain.

The winger subsequently had loan spells in Italy with Fiorentina, where he scored twice in four appearances, and Trabzonspor last season and will now leave Chelsea permanently for a new chapter in his career at Olympiakos.
