That’s why Werder Bremen let storm gem Joel Imasuen fidget | sport

Just 59 shots on goal in six games – in Bremen Werder Things are not going well in the storm at the moment. Justin Njinmah (23) is missing injured, the new signings Keke Topp (20) and Marco Grüll (26) still have to find their way in the Bundesliga.

A Werder striker with a good goal instinct has not appeared in the professional team in recent months: U23 gem Joel Imasuen (19).

The young American offensive man is currently contributing significantly to Bremen’s winning streak in the regional league. The striker scored five times in the last four games (all wins) and seven times in nine fourth division games in total.

Imasuen shoots, the professional offense is lame – yet Werder allows it to fidget. Professional boss Peter Niemeyer told BILD: “It is always an option for U23 and U19 players to slip into the Bundesliga team. They were also there during the preparation, the door is not closed. It has not happened still.”
