Josh Sargent is off to a good start with Werder Bremen.
In his first match with the club’s U-23 team, Sargent provided a late assist in Tuesday’s friendly match against Dynamo Dresden. The assist came in the 81st minute as Sargent battled down the right side while outmuscling a defender. The 17-year-old forward then slid a pass to the top of the box, which was fired home magnificently by Niklas Schmidt
Looking good, @joshsargent!

Sargent cannot officially join the team until his 18th birthday in February, but the young forward has been taking part in the club’s U-23 camp as part of the Bundesliga’s winter break.
In a recent interview, Sargent said he is enjoying his early days with the club and is looking forward to getting acclimated in the coming months.
Take a closer look at Sargent’s assist below:
I’m more impressed that at 17 he was able to just be physical to create space. Good job using your strength against older players!
I think he is already a 6 footer and not slight built. He is not done growing, he may end up being 6’1 or 6’2.
As a ginger myself, I must say purple is not our best color
Hes not a great looking guy regardless
He still growing. give him a couple of years of contract money and you will see him hanging around with models.
omg what an assist, amazing, really exciting, the guy just had to tap it in
LOL. This killed me after watching the highlight… Still good work from a 17 year old kid, but yeah – not a tap in
