Werder join Leko hunt

Werder Bremen are keen to sign Croatian midfielder Jerko Leko.

Werder Bremen are joining the chase for Jerko Leko.

The Croatian star has rejected a contract offer from his current club Dynamo Kiev, leaving him a free agent in the summer.

He was reportedly keen on a move to French outfit Monaco, but the 26-year-old has attracted interest from elsewhere.

German side Werder Bremen have also expressed interest in the midfielder, who will be looking to feature in Croatia's World Cup campaign this summer.

A move to Germany could see Leko link up with fellow Croatian team-mate Ivan Klasnic.
