  "account": "Bundesliga club SV Werder Bremen have announced the signing of midfielder Youri Regeer from Ajax. The 23-year-old Dutch player will join on a one-year loan, with an option to purchase him for €5 million next summer. Regeer, capable of playing both central midfield and right-back, can provide crucial cover after the injury suffered by teammate Jens Stage. Ajax winger Arthur is also expected to transfer to Bremen, adding further competition at right-back. Regeer has already featured regularly for Ajax this season, starting all eight of his appearances this term. Coach Daniel Thioune praised the player, saying, \"What I saw was impressive. He is well-trained, primarily plays in central midfield, and has excellent vision. He made over thirty appearances for Ajax last season, both in the league and internationally, and will further enhance the quality of our squad.\"",
