CSKA Moscow sign Wernbloom

Published on 19 januari 12, 00:00

Wernbloom signed a contract with AZ in April 2009 and after a period of six months during which AZ won the Johan Cruijff Shield and played Champions League football, the physically strong Swede rapidly established himself as a first-team regular under then manager Dick Advocaat.

The Sweden international was also the first choice on Gertjan Verbeek´s team sheet. Together with compatriot Rasmus Elm, Wernbloom, strong in the air and in the tackle, impressed  with his set-pieces. Wernbloom, capped 24 times by Sweden, made 57 league appearances for AZ, scoring seven goals in the process.
