The former Chelsea player Franco di Santo joined the German side Werder Bremen 4 months ago and has made 6 appearances so far with them scoring his debut goal in the Bundesliga during Werder Bremen’s 3-2 defeat against Mainz.

Arriving from the club he stayed and played in for 3 years, Wigan Athletic in which he made a large amount of first team appearances for the relegated Premier League club, his impact on the team was almost non-existent as he bagged 16 goals in 3 seasons.

After 45 minutes of the 2^nd half the 24 years old Argentinean forward netted the 2^nd goal for Werder Bremen and despite the late goal from him, his side ultimately had to settle to their defeat against Mainz as they keep on dropping points and getting into the lower spots of the standings.

Werder Bremen received Bayern Munich at the Weserstadion in order to play the 15^th match of the Bundesliga but faced a disappointing 7-0 final result and now if the team of Robin Dutt wants to continue playing in the top flight league of Germany, a number of changes will be needed for them to avoid further negative results.

The general manager of Werder Bremen, Thomas Eichin confirmed their interest regarding Kevin de Bruyne.

‘’Kevin de Bruyne’s player agent is aware of our interest in his services. I will be getting to know if there is a chance to re-sign Kevin de Bruyne on loan for our club. If this is possible, we will have to wait and see if such a deal can be really worked out. Everyone at Werder Bremen knows all about the quality of Kevin de Bruyne’’. Thomas Eichin told Sky Sports.

Werder Bremen have been on a poor form in recent weeks in the Bundesliga, but they showed signs of recovery after managing a 3-2 win over Hannover 96 in the league. After the match, Werder Bremen manager Robin Dutt revealed that he is happy to have secured this important victory, which moves the club closer to the top half of the table. Bremen had not won in front of their home fans for the last four matches, which has been causing signs of discontent amongst the supporters.

There were expecting the worst when Hannover took the lead in the 20th minute through a penalty from Huszti, but a penalty from Hunt helped the home team get back on level terms after just five minutes. The 40th minute goal from Makiadi appeared to take them into the half-time break with the lead, but Hannover’s Sakai had other ideas, as he equalised after just a minute to send both teams level at half-time.

It stayed that way almost till the end of the match. It looked like Werder Bremen were going to drop more points at home, but Garcia stepped up to score the winner in the 89th minute to send the home fans crazy. Hannover were disappointed with the result especially given that they are targeting European qualification.

“Of course when you are under pressure to show your fans what you can do, and you keep getting draws, then it’s a huge weight off your shoulders to win. You can see that because it’s so much fun to work with this team when you then win. They work so much during the week, really pulling along, and we’ve got an excellent team spirit,” said Dutt. “We’ve got to take our chances better. It’s bitter to get punished so late on and this is a very frustrating defeat,” said Slomka.

Former Chelsea striker Franco di Santo has signed for German club Werder Bremen on a free transfer after leaving Wigan athletic at the end of last season. This move brings an end to the spell in English football for the striker, who came as a youngster to Chelsea. He was signed for £ 3 million from Chelsea by the manager Roberto Martinez. The past few years has been extremely productive for the Argentine, as he has even been able to make his debut at the international level as well. The Argentine striker, though, did not want to play in the Championship.

Hence, he did not renew his contract with Wigan, who were relegated into the second division of English football last season. After searching for a new club in the last few weeks, the 24-year-old has decided to sign for Bundesliga club Werder Bremen. He made 92 league appearances during his time in England and he scored 13 goals. The Bundesliga club’s general manager, Thomas Eichin has said that the club had been searching for a hard-working striker, who could hold the ball up. He hopes that Di Santo proves to be the perfect signing that the club was looking for in this transfer window.

Prior to moving to England, Di Santo played for Audax Italiano.

“We had been in the hunt for a robust striker with experience in a big league. We are very confident that we have found a good solution in Franco Di Santo. He is experienced but still possesses enough potential for development in order to make a great leap forwards,” said Eichin. “Werder have a very good name and the Bundesliga is a very attractive league. I want to show what I am capable of here,” said the striker to the official site of Werder Bremen.
