De Bruyne Joins Werder Bremen Loan

[James 5,218]

Chelsea winger Kevin de Bruyne has agreed to join German side Werder Bremen on a season-long loan.

The 21-year-old Belgian arrived at Stamford Bridge during the January transfer window for £7million and was immediately loaned back to former club Genk.

He made his Chelsea debut in the 4-2 friendly victory over Seattle Sounders during the recent tour to America, but Chelsea confirmed he is to continue his development at Werder Bremen.

De Bruyne is determined to make a success of his time at Werder Bremen.

'It's good that the transfer to Bremen is now completed,' he told the club's official website.

'SV Werder have a big tradition and play in one of the best leagues in Europe with full stadiums all the time.

'I would like to prove successful with my new team-mates.'

De Bruyne, who has been capped twice by Belgium, scored eight goals in 22 games upon his return to Genk.

Good move for him, also the facts hes very versatile will do him the world of wonders as he will slot in behind the striker, on either wing or as a central midfielder. He will be a regular easily.

It seems fitting, they did just lose a winger in Marin. De Bruyne should fill that gap, let's hope he'll get enough minutes!

Good move if he can prove himself to the manager and get the minutes.

He will get his minutes, if doesn't get injured. Let me quote myself...

Bremen are playing with a 4-4-2-diamond formation, normally. So if they keep this system it's likely that KDB will play as their CAM because Elia and Hunt will be on the wings, with Arnautovic and Petersen up front. BUT this selection seems too offensive minded which could lead to changing the system to 4-3-3. If that happens KDB could play alongside Bargfrede and Junuzovic/Ignjovski in the midfield with Elia, Hunt and Arnautovic in front of them. Really difficult to predict where KDB will play, but we don't need to worry about KDB getting playing time. The squad Werder have got this year is really weak and it's not odd to claim that De Bruyne is already one of the top players on the roster.

very good move, would have been 10x better if it was in the EPL but nonetheless.....

i love KDB and his upside very mature lookin individual and can be our future lamps with more vison but less goal scoring....i dont thinkanyone can replicate that at all..

If he can cement somewhat of a first team place, this is a great move. Even better than staying in England at another Premier League club.
