The reserve goalkeeper left Arsenal, to Werder Bremen to find opportunities
Joining Arsenal from Nomme United (Estonia) in 2018, Karl Hein was sent to gain experience at Reading and Real Valladolid. The imprint of the 23 -year -old goalkeeper in the Arsenal shirt is the first match in the British League Cup against Brighton in 2022. But Hein has not had the opportunity to appear in the Premier League. Therefore, going to Bremen to play is a reasonable step in the development journey of this young goalkeeper.

Sharing with media Werder Bremen, Hein expressed excitement: “The decision to join Werder is really easy for me. This is a big club, with great fans and beautiful stadiums, I don't need to think much. I am looking forward to starting a new journey in Bremen.”
In fact, this decision came in the context of the Bremen defense still has many question marks. Young rookie Mio Backhaus has never had experience in Bundesliga, and it is an opportunity for Hein to prove himself. With 32 appearances in La Liga last season, the Estonian goalkeeper is expected to be ready to replace if Backhaus has difficulty in adaptation.
For Arsenal, this is a strategic deal: both creating conditions for Hein to continue developing in the peak environment, while keeping him in the long -term plan. Bremen himself also leaves the ability to rotate, when the goalkeeper coach affirms the position in the wooden frame will have fair competition. This means that Hein can completely be given the opportunity to shine in the Bundesliga this season, while Arsenal will follow his step closely before making a decision about the long -term future.
