Werder Bremen goalkeeper Felix Wiedwald is currently unhappy at the club ahead of his proposed move to Leeds United, according to a reliable journalist.
BBC Sport journalist Adam Pope claimed on his personal Twitter account on Thursday that the 27-year-old has been left frustrated at the club’s decision to sign a new goalkeeper this summer.
RE Wiedwald: He was no 1 at Werder but is unhappy at the club bringing in a Czech keeper. Fee unconfirmed but could be as low as £400k.

The German Bundesliga outfit have completed the signing Jiri Pavlenka from Slavia Prague ahead of the new season, raising concerns over Wiedwald’s role in the first-team next season.
Wiewald was the first-choice stopper at Werder Bremen throughout the 2016-17 season, but kept jut five clean sheets from 26 appearances in all competitions.
But his unhappiness may only be short-founded, as the Bremen youth product is reportedly on the verge of sealing a move to Championship outfit Leeds United.
The Yorkshire Evening Post claim that Wiedwald is will arrive at Elland Road within the next 24 hours to undergo a medical ahead of his proposed move to the club.
Wiedwald has already agreed terms with Thomas Christiansen’s side, and a fee is understood to have been agreed between the clubs at around £500,000.
BBC journalist Pope, however, suggests the fee could be as low as £400,000, but it is clear that Leeds could well be set to snap up a top-flight goalkeeper for just a six-figure fee.
The experienced Rob Green is the current number one stopper at the Championship club, and Wiedwald is likely to challenge him for a starting role for the 2017-18 season.
