Werder Bremen is responding to the lack of attacking threat in recent months and is strengthening its squad for the new season with Kenny Quetant. The Green-Whites managed to beat other Bundesliga clubs in the race for the striking talent. On Thursday evening, the club confirmed its first new signing for the upcoming season.
This step became necessary mainly because of Bremen’s toothless attack: a poor conversion rate of just 6.3 percent meant the club spent a long time stuck near the bottom of the table.
The 19-year-old Quetant is now expected to bring more goal threat back to Bremen’s play. The young forward will join on a free transfer in the summer from French club AC Le Havre to the Weser. According to current information, he has signed a long-term contract until 2030, with Werder also securing an option to extend it by another season.
“We are very pleased that we were able to convince Kenny, a young and highly talented prospect, to join Werder Bremen. We want to support him in taking the next steps in his development with us. He has already gained initial experience in a top European league, and we are convinced that he can fulfil his potential here,” said Peter Niemeyer, head of the professional division, looking ahead to working with him.
The new signing himself said: “Werder are a very interesting club and I’m looking forward to my time in Bremen. I want to be successful with the team and get as much playing time as possible. I’m also looking forward to the Weserstadion because I’ve heard the fans are supposed to be incredible.”
