Competition for Schick? Leverkusen interested in Werder striker

Patrik Schick has had his first season at Leverkusen, during which he didn’t shine too much, but he certainly didn’t disappoint. He made a great name for himself at the Euros, yet his employer is thinking about expanding the attacking ranks.

Bayer Leverkusen didn’t find their clear-cut cannon in any of their strikers last season.

Patrik Schick scored 13 competitive goals, while his Argentine rival Lucas Alario scored 15.

However, at the very tip of the attack, Leverkusen have more or less only two options and would like to expand the attacking ranks.

There is loud speculation in Germany about the possible arrival of the 21-year-old American striker, who plays for Werder Bremen.

Specifically, Josh Sargent, who was given more space on the Bundesliga pitch for the first time last season.

Sargent did not dazzle with his productivity, scoring 7 competitive goals, but he definitely has something to offer with his fight and speed. Moreover, he has a huge talent.

Sargent’s qualities are very well known to the head of Bayer Leverkusen’s scouting, because he came to the club from Bremen, where he brought Sargent himself.

However, Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Mönchengladbach are also interested in the player. Werder should demand 10 million euros for the player.
