Niklas Moisander has been appointed new captain of Werder Bremen, the club have announced.
The 33-year-old previously held the position of vice-captain, which will now be taken over by Davy Klaassen, and succeeds Max Kruse as captain.

With his pleasently calm, but at the same time extremely determined and ambitious nature, he has already been a close confidant and an important contact person for me in recent years.

Moisander joined Werder from Sampdoria in 2016.
