Theodor Gebre Selassie joins Werder Bremen

Werder Bremen have completed the singing of Czech Republic right-back Theodor Gebre Selassie from Slovan Liberec.

The 25-year-old played in every minute of his country's Euro 2012 finals campaign and had reportedly attracted interest from Arsenal.

However, Bremen have won the race for Gebre Selassie's signature and the player is delighted with the move.

He told the club's official website: "The decision to join Werder Bremen was the right thing to do.

"This is a club with a lot of stability and tradition, who always set their goals high. I would like to emulate here my successful season at Liberec."

Gebre Selassie has signed a four-year contract with the Bundesliga outfit, who are believed to have paid a £1.6m transfer fee as part of the deal.
