WERDER NEXT?

Werder Bremen are looking to add one more Chelsea player into their ranks after the general manager of the club revealed that they are trying their best to bring in Kevin De Bruyne from the Premier league outfit. They already have former Chelsea striker Franco di Santo on their books. The Argentine recently completed the free transfer move from Wigan and he has been a regular so far. Kevin De Bruyne has been linked with an exit from Chelsea after failing to get into the first team under José Mourinho. He started the season pretty well, but he has fallen out of favour in recent weeks.

This endangers his place in the Belgian national team ahead of the World Cup 2014. Hence, he is widely linked with a move away from the club in January at least on a six-month loan deal. A number of German clubs have expressed their interest in the player. Werder Bremen have joined the race and they could potentially get the player ahead of their competitors after having known him well from last season. De Bruyne spent last season on loan at Werder Bremen where he became the best young player in the Bundesliga.

“His (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,” said Werder Bremen’s general manager. The player has made nine appearances for Chelsea this season and has scored one goal.
