Chelsea’s Peruvian striker Claudio Pizarro is set to announce his transfer back to Bundesliga side Werder Bremen, German magazine Kicker report on Tuesday.
The 30-year-old forward spent last season on loan at Bremen, but on his return to London he has struggled to impress new Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti who left him out of the squad for last weekend’s 2-1 win over Hull City.
Having already played for Bremen from 1999 to 2001, Pizarro looks set for another return and the Peru star has plenty of Bundesliga experience having spent six seasons at Bayern Munich.
Pizarro will make a useful addition to Thomas Schaaf’s squad having scored 17 league goals for Bremen while on loan last season.
Bremen director of sport Klaus Allofs is reported to have contacted Chelsea on Sunday to express an interest in signing Pizarro.
