Nottingham Forest old boy Oli Burke sparks £13m realisation with shock Bundesliga transfer

Nottingham Forest academy graduate Oli Burke has completed a transfer to Bundesliga side Werder Bremen.

The 25-year-old has joined the German club from Sheffield United for an undisclosed fee, having spent the second half of last season out on loan at Millwall. Burke will now play in the Bundesliga for a second time after joining RB Leipzig from Forest back in 2016.

He came through the academy ranks at Forest, making his debut in 2014-15 and made 31 appearances over three seasons before joining the German club. There he made 25 Bundesliga appearances in the 2016-17 season before returning to England with West Brom, who were then in the Premier League, and suffered relegation.
