Werder Bremen have signed Dutch attacking midfielder Davy Klaassen from Everton for a fee of £12m. Klaassen came to Everton from Ajax last summer on a five-year deal for a fee of £23.6 million. However, had a disappointing season at Goodison Park as he played only 16 matches across all competitions.
Klaassen said on Werder Bremen’s official website, “It was important to me to know exactly where the journey was going on the pitch and the ambitions of the club have convinced me. After my exchange with [coach] Florian Kohfeldt I have a very good feeling that I can make an important contribution here with my abilities. The coach wants to play attractive, attacking football. I am really looking forward to that.”
The 25-year old has been playing for the Netherlands national team since 2014 and has made 16 appearances so far. He has four international goals to his name.
Werder Bremen begin their Bundesliga campaign against Hannover 96 at Bremen.
