STARS IN EUROPE - SENEGAL - CLUB - TRANSFER - Chelsea loan defender Djilobodji to Werder Bremen

WERDER BREMEN Papy Djilobodji

 

Chelsea have loaned defender Papy Djilobodji to Werder Bremen for the rest of the season.

Djilobodji, 27, moved to Stamford Bridge from Nantes in a £4m deal on transfer deadline day in September.

However, he has made just one appearance since then - as a late substitute in a League Cup win over Walsall.

The Senegal international, who started his career at Senart-Moissy, is contracted to Chelsea until 2019.

Bremen are third bottom of the German Bundesliga - the relegation play-off place - two points off bottom spot.
