Werder Bremen's main problem last season was the offense – everyone knows that by now. Accordingly, two new signings have already been made in this area with Kenny Quetant and Chuki. However, football business manager Clemens Fritz and sports director Peter Niemeyer are not only looking for reinforcements in the attack, but also in other team departments. For the defensive midfield, the Grün-Weißen are now looking to Belgium. The DeichStube reports that Werder has taken Arthur Piedfort from KVC Westerlo into consideration. There, the 21-year-old made his breakthrough last season and played in 26 of 30 games in the starting lineup, impressing with his passing ability and good positioning. He reminds you of Senne Lynen, but Piedfort is more goal-oriented than his fellow countryman. In addition to three assists, he also scored two goals himself – and has scored two more goals than Lynen in 100 official games for Werder. Good for the Bremer: Piedfort's contract expires in 2027, and a renewal is considered unlikely. The chances for a transfer could not be more favorable. An initial contact has also been made, it is said. Alone, Werder is not the only one interested in the Belgian. The FC Genua from the Serie A has also expressed interest in Piedfort, according to the Belgian portal voetbalnieuws.be. Maybe the existing Belgian connection at Werder will ultimately tip the scales in favor of Bremen. Alongside Lynen, Piedfort would meet other countrymen at the Weser in the form of Olivier Deman and Samuel Mbangula, who would make his integration easier.
