Werder Bremen are making their first big move of the summer transfer window, with reports from Sky Germany confirming that the Bundesliga side have reached an agreement to sign promising young forward Kenny Quetant.
The 19-year-old, who has yet to sign a professional contract with French club Le Havre, will be available on a free transfer—a rare and valuable opportunity in today's market. According to transfer insider Florian Plettenberg, Quetant is scheduled to undergo his medical on Thursday before putting pen to paper on a four-year deal that runs until 2030, with an option for an additional year.
It hasn't been a straightforward path to Bremen for the teenager, though. French outlet Le Parisien reports that Quetant's first choice was actually Freiburg, who had been leading the race for his signature. Lille also expressed interest in the forward, who has made nine Ligue 1 appearances for Le Havre this season, scoring once. But Werder Bremen have won the race, securing a player with clear potential for growth.
Interestingly, Quetant hasn't featured in Le Havre's first team since late March, with reports suggesting his lack of commitment to the club played a role in his absence. Now, with a fresh start in Germany, the young talent will look to reignite his career and make an impact in the Bundesliga. For Werder Bremen fans, this signing signals ambition—and a smart move to add young, hungry talent to the squad without breaking the bank.
