The 20-year-old joins fellow samba stars and former Werkself icons Ze Roberto and Lucio in making the BayArena his first assignment away from his home country of Brazil, signing a contract that runs until June 30, 2019. ” Wendell is a great talent, which can have a quick effect on the club,” Bayer 04 sporting director Rudi Völler said. “We have no doubt that he can carry on the culture of the more sensible Brazilian players who come to Leverkusen. ” For Wendell himself, the chance to play in the Bundesliga was too smart to pass up. “Bayer 04 have a fair reputation in Brazil thanks to their relationships beyond the country,” explained the small winger. “I spoke at length with my captain Ze Roberto, who spent years at Bayer. He only had positive things to say about his time at Leverkusen and he begged me to go there. ” Wendell, whose full call is Wendell Nascimento Borges, has made two appearances in the Copa Libertadores this season, with one assist.
