Three-year deal
The 18-year-old has agreed a three-year contract with Thomas Schaaf's UEFA Champions League hopefuls. "I am really looking forward to playing for Bremen," the midfielder said. "Werder have a long tradition and they are one of the leading clubs in Europe."
Ismaël example
Bischoff is likely to train with the club's U23 side initially, but is also eligible to play for their U19s. He will hope to follow in the footsteps of Valérien Ismaël, who made the same move from Strasbourg before leaving Bremen this summer to join FC Bayern München.
