15 points and fifth place after nine games. This is the previous record of SV Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga. The climber is one of the surprise teams of the season so far. Anthony Jung, who is now waving a contract extension, has played a major role in this.

Nine matchdays have passed in the Bundesliga and left-back Anthony Jung was in the starting XI at SV Werder in all nine matches. The 30-year-old was able to score one goal himself and set up another. His good performances are also respected at the club, which is why he is now waving an extension of his contract, which expires at the end of the season.

As the Bild newspaper reports, the talks between the Bremen team and the management of the full-back are in the hot phase. Accordingly, Jung could sign a new working paper in the foreseeable future, possibly as early as October.

Both sides are keen to extend, although Jung’s rival on the left, Lee Buchanan, is showing appealing performances in his short appearances. In addition, Jung, who can also be used in central defence, enjoys a good standing in the team.
