German midfielder’s hopes faded and died!

Werder Bremen midfielder Ludovic Obraniak has claimed West Ham were interested in signing him during the summer.

The Pole only joined Werder in January but having struggled to hold down a first team place is keen to move on..

He claimed in BILD “We spoke with both the Irons and Sunderland saying: “Sunderland and West Ham United had been in touch, but we could not find an agreement over a transfer.

“I don’t think that it is a problem to admit I want to move away [from Werder Bremen]. This is not a mistake. It’s just the way I am, it’s my character. I like to point things out.

“My ambition is to play in Euro 2016 for Poland, therefore I need to play regular matches. It’s just reasonable to move clubs because of that.”
