The Bundesliga is arguably the best league in the world with fabulous stadiums, ardent fan bases and some very well run clubs. It is also the home to some of the best players in the world and is arguably the league most similar to the Premier League, hence why a lot of English clubs look to the league for transfer targets as they should be able to come over to the U.K and settle immediately. One of the weaknesses of the German league is that Bayern Munich are so dominant, which can make the other clubs susceptible to losing their best players as they search for success. The following five players have been linked with the Premier League and could make the move over to England in the near future.
Bas Dost
The first player is Wolfsburg forward Bas Dost who was one of the in form strikers in Europe during the second half of the campaign. The striker finally showed his ability in the Bundesliga and it is believed his club may be willing to let him go with Newcastle the frontrunners for his signature. The Dutchman is 26 years old and approaching the prime of his career. He has been inconsistent in the past, but he will be hoping the 2014/15 campaign is the springboard for him to have a successful spell in football, nailing down a place in the Dutch national squad in the process.
He scored 16 goals in 21 league matches for the German club which is an incredible strike rate, but some are still unconvinced by him. Dost is capable of finishing with his feet, while he is also strong aerially. Moreover he is a target man able to hold up the play and give his side a genuine target in the final third. He would be suited to the English game and would be a fabulous signing if Newcastle manage to finalise the deal.
