Five Bundesliga trailblazers who could set Premier League alight

Max Meyer (Attacking midfielder, Schalke)
Most of the hype surrounding Schalke’s starlets has previously focused on Julian Draxler, whilst deep-lying playmaker Leon Goretzka seems to have stolen the title of hidden gem.

Perhaps the player with the most potential from Roberto Di Matteo’s men, however, is versatile attacking midfielder Meyer.

Like some of the best in his position, the young maestro is adept at creating space and squeezing through passes in tricky situations.

This season, Meyer added a decisive goal to send Gelsenkirchen club Schalke through to the Champions League knockout stages to his list of achievements, hinting at a bright future.

If Arsenal (12/5 to win the FA Cup) decide to offload one of their stars in summer, young Meyer’s ability to link play would see him fit the Gunners like a glove. Long-term, he may replace ageing names likes Santi Cazorla and Tomas Rosicky.

Kevin de Bruyne (Attacking midfielder, Wolfsburg)
Easily the highest-profile player on this list, brilliant De Bruyne is an obvious choice to return for the Premier League. Since leaving Chelsea, the Belgium international has illustrated his ability to instigate attacks with ease and propel both country and club forward.

With eight Bundesliga goals and 11 assists this term, De Brunye is both top scorer and supplier for Die Wolfe, making him a true bargain buy.

Manchester City and rivals United have already been tipped to bring the match-winner back to England and could well make the Blues rue their decision to offload.

Son Heung-Min (Forward, Bayer Leverkusen)
Despite a bout of illness, exciting attacker Heung-Min was hungry for goals at the Asian Cup, with his return to the starting XI propelling the Taegeuk Warriors into the final.

Two of the talented 22-year-old’s extra-time strikes sank Uzbekistan in the quarter-finals, whilst his last ditch equaliser saw South Korea run Australia close for the trophy.

Clearly destined for a bigger stage than Leverkusen can provide, Heung-Min’s pace and nose for goal would see him a certain star for the likes of Liverpool (5/1 to lift the FA Cup) or United, who both require extra potency up top.
