I'm very happy with my new mission at Bremen," said Naby Keita. I was convinced by the discussions I had with the people in charge, the environment and the way Werder play. The coach really made me feel good and showed me that I could help the team. Werder is a very special club, and I still know the Weserstadion from my days in Leipzig. The club and the philosophy suit me, it's the right step for me."
