Both clubs confirmed the agreement on Tuesday. Bremen reinforced their team with the signing of the Czech international, who will join the German top division club after passing the medical at the end of the week, reports Xinhua news agency.

"We are very pleased that we were able to convince Jiri of Bremen. We have been observing him intensively in recent years. He took a good development and made it into the national team," Bremen official Frank Baumann said.
