Ten Bundesliga players we’d welcome in England as concerns grow about PL clubs poaching from the German top flight.
Bayern Munich chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has been quoted as expressing his concern about Premier League clubs poaching the best players in the Bundesliga, so here’s our pick of the ten best names from the German top flight that we’d love to see in England…
1) Marco Reus (Borussia Dortmund)
Long linked with big names like Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United, Marco Reus is undoubtedly one of the best attacking midfielders in the world and would be a huge buy for any Premier League side.
2) Thomas Muller (Bayern Munich)
Linked strongly with Manchester United this summer, Thomas Muller is a goal machine who would likely cost £60m or more, but he’d light up the English top flight.

3) Ilkay Gundogan (Borussia Dortmund)
A superb defensive midfielder, Ilkay Gundogan has been linked with Arsenal and United in the past and would be a great fit in English football.
4) Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich)
World class for many years now, Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski would be another exciting big-name buy from the Bundesliga, and is reportedly a target for Arsenal.
5) Bas Dost (Wolfsburg)
A Dutch striker in terrific form last season, Bas Dost was linked with Arsenal and Newcastle and could be a great addition to the Premier League.
6) Max Meyer (Schalke)
One of the best young midfielders in Europe, Schalke starlet Max Meyer has been most recently linked with Chelsea and Liverpool and would be a great purchase.
7) Mario Gotze (Bayern Munich)
Linked with Premier League clubs in the past, there are suggestions that Mario Gotze is unsettled at Bayern Munich, and he’d be very warmly welcomed on these shores.
8) Hakan Calhanoglu (Bayer Leverkusen)
Another superb youngster, Hakan Calhanoglu is a set-piece specialist who was most recently linked with Arsenal and Manchester City, and his wondergoals would go down a treat in the Premier League.
9) Mats Hummels (Borussia Dortmund)
A world class defender linked many times with United, Mats Hummels would be another great potential raid on Borussia Dortmund.
10) Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich)
The best goalkeeper in the world by some way, Bayern Munich’s Manuel Neuer surely won’t be moving anytime soon, but he’d be a big hit in England.
