Werder Bremen

The former Celtic loanee returns to the Bundesliga five years on from becoming Scotland's most expensive player.

He has earned 13 caps for the national side, scoring once in a Hampden victory over Cyprus, but has not played for over two years. The 25-year-old became Scotland’s most expensive ever player when he left Nottingham Forest to join RB Leipzig for a £13m fee in August 2016, but managed just one goal in 26 appearances before returning to the UK with West Bromwich Albion. However his career in Yorkshire amounted to just 36 appearances and two goals and he spent last season with fellow Championship side Millwall.

The Scotland international will link up with the newly promoted Bundesliga club this week.

However, things didn't work out in German football as Burke would have hoped and he returned to the UK a year later. Oliver Burke is set to join Werder Bremen as he aims to kickstart his career in the Bundesliga.

Oliver Burke, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Millwall, has agreed to join Werder Bremen.

Millwall salvaged a point in the 98th minute to draw 2-2 against Birmingham City on Saturday afternoon. Millwall still have a number of offensive targets they are working on. It will be the 25-year-old’s second spell with a German club.
