Werder Bremen sign Hajrovic until 2018

Berlin, July 11 (IANS) German Bundesliga club Werder Bremen have signed Bosnia and Herzegovina international Izet Hajrovic until 2018.

The 22-year-old midfielder joins from Galatasaray Istanbul by putting pen to paper on a four-year deal Thursday, reports Xinhua.

"He is an additional option in our offence which we favoured. He is quick, has good ball control and is very strong in one on one situations," Bremen coach Robin Dutt said in an official statement.

The new arrival will join Bremen's training camp mid-July. Hajrovic played four years for Grasshopper Zurich, where he scored 20 goals in 91 appearances, before he joined Galatasaray, where he made only eight appearances.

"We are delighted that he joins us. We are sure that he will integrate quickly," Bremen sporting director Thomas Eichin said.

Bremen completed the last season in 12th place of the Bundesliga standings.
