Chelsea defender Jeffrey Bruma is set to join Hamburg on a two-year loan deal.

Bruma was limited to just two Premier League appearances last season and spent the end of the campaign on loan at Championship side Leicester City.

The youngster’s agent, Wessel Weezenberg, says a move to Germany will hopefully see him experience more first-team action and continue his development before returning to Chelsea in 2013.

“It is important Jeffrey gets playing. For him this is a good step,” Weezenberg told Voetbal International.

“We have chosen stability for Jeffrey. These two years Jeffrey has to play and he can settle in this way.

“At Chelsea that will be difficult, but in Hamburg the chance is bigger. However, he will have to prove it by himself.

“For him it is a good step. Hamburg is and remains a top team, with a fantastic stadium and a giant fanbase.”

Bruma will join up with former Chelsea defender Michael Mancienne at the Bundesliga club, following the England Under-21 international’s £1.75 million switch from Stamford Bridge last week.

Former Chelsea technical director Frank Arnesen also joined Hamburg this summer, but Weezenberg insists that the club were already interested in Bruma before his arrival.

“Hamburg followed Jeff for years before Arnesen came to work here,” he added.

“The signing of Bruma is based on the impressions of many people at HSV.”
