Bundesliga soccer club Werder Bremen signed French midfielder Skelly Alvero on loan one day before the transfer deadline. This was shared by the club.
The 21-year-old is moving from French first division club Olympique Lyon to Weser for the rest of the season. “In the summer we will sit down together and see whether we can use the purchase option,” said Clemens Fritz, head of professional football at Werder.
“He is a tall, robust player who can take on both the offensive and defensive roles in midfield,” said Werder coach Ole Werner about the 2.02 meter tall Alvero. The Frenchman played eight games for Lyon this season and scored one goal.
