New midfield star Naby Keita is also hoping for striker Niclas Füllkrug to stay at Werder Bremen. “He’s a top striker. I want to support him with my assists so that he gets even better and scores more goals next season,” said the 28-year-old newcomer from Liverpool in a “Sport Bild” interview (Wednesday). . “That’s why I hope he stays. That would be important for the team.”

Füllkrug won the top scorer in the Bundesliga last season and was promoted to national team. That also makes him interesting for other clubs, but his contract with Bremen runs until 2025.

Keita returns to the Bundesliga this summer after five years at Liverpool FC. The Guinean international played there for RB Leipzig from 2016 to 2018. “I’m very happy to have signed for Bremen. Germany is my home,” he said.
