Werder reportedly set to complete Alvero signing

L'Equipe reports that Werder Bremen are set to wrap up a deal to sign French midfielder Skelly Alvero from Olympique Lyon.
Werder Bremen have agreed a deal to sign Skelly Alvero on loan from Olympique Lyon, according to L'Equipe.

The French publication claims that the deal is set to go through, with the Green and Whites having secured a €4 million buyout option.

Alvero will give Werder more depth in central midfield and will be hoping to get more playing time than he's received so far this season for Lyon.

Since joining from Sochaux last summer, the 21-year-old has been limited to just eight appearances and a total of 426 minutes.
