Werder head coach Florian Kohfeldt added: "He's a very technically gifted player who can play on both wings. He's also really fast, which will help our game. Defensively he has potential for development -- he's still only at the start of his career and we want to help him continue fulfilling his potential."
Werder Bremen narrowly avoided relegation from the Bundesliga last season, finishing 16th on the table. They however got the better of Bundesliga 2 side Heidenheim in the relegation play-offs to retain their top flight status.
