The 20-year-old is a talented youth international with a lot of potential. “Felix is a young, ambitious player who is strong on the right wing. We’re really pleased that we were able to persuade him to join us at Werder,” explains Baumann.
Felix Olof Allan Nelson Beijmo, the full name of the new signing, joins Ludwig Augustinsson ot become the second Swede in head coach Florian Kohfeldt’s side. “I’m sure that Felix, with the help of Ludde, will integrate into the squad quickly and that we’ll soon see his quality on the pitch. He’s very fast, he passes the ball really accurately, he can run for miles and miles and he knows when to launch an attacking play,” says Werder coach Florian Kohfeldt.
“Werder is a renowned and long-standing Bundesliga club with a huge amount of potential and a lot of great players learned their trade and developed here. You can see it with Ludwig Augustinsson and others too. I’m really excited for this new challenge and look forward to joining this club with the Weser-Stadion with its unbelievable atmosphere, which I’ve already heard a lot about,” says Beijmo.
Felix Beijmo learned his trade at the prestigious academy of capital club Brommapojkarna.
