Werder admit striker interest

Werder Bremen have admitted that they are interested in signing Jan Schlaudraff.

The Alemannia Aachen forward has been a revelation for the Bundesliga new boys this season so far, earning a call-up from Joachim Low to the national squad.

His form has also attracted the attention of Bayer Leverkusen, who would now appear to be facing competition from Bremen.

Werder general manager Klaus Allofs described the 23-year-old former Monchengladbach player as "an extremely good, young player, who would fit into our club" in an interview with Kicker.

Schlaudraff reportedly has an opt-out option in his current contract which would allow him to leave Aachen for a ‚é¼1.2 million (£800,000) fee and the player admits that he would be interested in joining Werder.

"Werder is an attractive club," he said after scoring a great goal to give his side a draw against Bremen on Saturday.

"If you look at the way they play football, how the club is managed and their success, then you have to say that they are very interesting," he added
