What the sparrows whistled loudly from the roofs of football in Germany on Wednesday is now in the towel. Justin Njinmah is turning his back on Werder Bremen, at least for the time being, and is hiring at Borussia Dortmund. The youngster should play for BVB II in the 3rd division.
To make the deal a reality, Njinmah previously signed a professional contract with Werder Bremen. This is the prerequisite for a free loan with a purchase option. The 21-year-old is initially under contract with BVB II until the end of the 2022/23 season.
The Bremer leave open whether a purchase option has been agreed, but the well-informed “Deichstube” reported on Wednesday that such an agreement existed.
“Justin has played a very good season so far. He has consistently demonstrated his qualities and, above all, his scoring risk in the regional league. And we definitely trust him to make the step into the professional team with us. The path to the 3rd league is a good opportunity for him to collect match practice at an even higher level, “said Clemens Fritz, Head of Professional Football and Scouting at Werder Homepage of the Hanseatic League quoted.
The offensive player also had a say in the face of “werder.de”: “I am pleased that Werder have placed their trust in me with the new contract. I think that every young footballer’s dream will come true with his first professional contract.” But I am also aware that it is a small first step and there is still a long way to go, so I see the move to the third division as an opportunity and, above all, as a great challenge to develop myself further and then bring my experience to Werder “said Njinmah.
Born in Hamburg, he made 18 appearances for Werder’s second team this season in the Regionalliga Nord and scored 14 impressive goals. He also put on six more hits. A professional debut has not yet come off as a surprise.
