Ex-Celtic loanee set for major transfer decision after rejecting two contract offers

In-form Scotland international Oliver Burke could be set for another big move after he turned down two new deals from Werder Bremen.

The 28-year-old hasn't won a Scotland cap for five years, but has been tipped to win an international recall after scoring six Bundesliga goals this season, including three in his last three games.

Ex-Celtic loan striker Burke is out of contract at the end of the season and Werder Bremen have come up with two offers this month in a bid to get him to extend his deal.

However, Burke - who was once Scotland's most expensive player and previously cost a combined transfer outlay of £28 million when RB Leipzig and West Brom signed him - is in no rush to commit his future to the club and could be about to move elsewhere this summer.

Werder sports director Peter Niemeyer said: "We are continuing constructive discussions with Oliver.

"We are not giving any updates."

But Burke admitted he is not worried about his situation.

He said: "Of course, every player wants to know what will happen to him, but I'm completely relaxed about it.

"That's football, certain things just take time. I'll give my best in the final games and enjoy every moment."
