Pohjanpalo leaves the Werkself to join Venezia FC

Joel Pohjanpalo is leaving Bayer 04 Leverkusen to play up front at Venezia FC. The 27-year-old made his Bundesliga debut for Bayer 04 in 2016 and the Finland striker has been on loan at several clubs since then. Pohjanpalo, who joined the Werkself from Fortuna Düsseldorf, also played for Hamburg SV, Union Berlin and most recently for Caykur Rizespor.

Pohjanpalo was unable to save the Turkish top-flight club from relegation despite being the fourth highest scorer in the Süper Lig last season with 16 goals. The Finland international scored eight goals for the Werkself in 28 games.

“We are very grateful to Joel for his commitment over the past few years. He always completely identified with Bayer 04,” said sporting managing director Simon Rolfes. “We wish Joel the success he deserves in Italy.”
