Isak Hansen-Aarøen (20) is an imposing figure because of his countless tattoos, not because of his body weight.
The Norwegian (1.73 m), who was signed from Manchester United in the winter, is a Scandinavian 67 kg flea. And that is one reason why he does not play a major role at Werder. Three short appearances in the past season, and in the still young current season, despite a good preparation, he only warmed the bench. Or it warmed him.
Professional boss Peter Niemeyer now demands: “He must become even more robust, he needs more physicality in his game.”

Werder Norwegian needs more muscles
Hansen-Aarøen, whose shirt now only says Aarøen, is currently with Norway’s U21 team and is gaining match practice. The attacking midfielder (market value: 1.5 million euros) should soon get match practice in Bremen, too, if he continues to develop on the pitch.
Niemeyer: “Isak is very good in small, tight spaces. But he has to improve when it’s 11 against 11. He has to grow, adapt to Bundesliga football even more and expand his playing style. Then he will develop with us.”

That is the big goal. Because Hansen-Aarøen is considered within the club as one of the players with whom Werder can one day achieve a large transfer revenue.
Niemeyer: “He has an exciting profile and a lot of potential. We have to work together to ensure that he exploits it.”
