Five Bundesliga gems destined for Premier League transfers

The Bundesliga is undoubtedly one of the most captivating and sophisticated football leagues globally.

Over the years, the competition has branded itself as a factory of talents.

More often than not, English players have struggled on German soil, but not Harry Kane.

The prolific marksman, who recently saw his ‘fugly’ stature unveiled in Walthamstow, London (via The Sun), topped the league’s scoring charts in his first-ever Bundesliga campaign.

However, Bayern Munich ended up empty-handed for the first time in a decade as Bayer Leverkusen robbed them of the title, displaying the most attractive plays football on TV had to offer last term.

Despite their poor results, Borussia Dortmund remain synonymous with elite talents. And some of them could move to the Premier League next summer.

Let’s look at the list of five Bundesliga up-and-comers who could continue their careers in England’s top division next season.

Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (Borussia Dortmund)

Touted as Jadon Sancho’s long-term successor at Signal Iduna Park, Bynoe-Gittens followed the same career path, swapping Manchester City for Dortmund at the tender age.

After a decent breakthrough campaign in 2023/24, the 20-year-old winger has gone from strength to strength this term, amassing two goals and two assists in ten league appearances.

He has also demonstrated his burgeoning talent on the grandest continental stage, tallying three goals and two assists in four UEFA Champions League games.

Unlike Sancho, Bynoe-Gittens may not take a quantum leap and immediately join a top club in the Premier League.

Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest have recently displayed interest in his services.

Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig)

Josko Gvardiol, Dominik Szoboszlai and Christopher Nkunku launched their rise to prominence at the Red Bull Arena before switching to the Premier League.

Sesko could soon become Leipzig’s latest product to ply their trade in England, but under which banner remains a mystery.

Heavily linked with a move to Manchester United in recent transfer windows, he may forget about moving to Old Trafford now that Ruben Amorim is in the house.

Sporting CP phenom Viktor Gyokeres has naturally become the club’s top priority after the Portuguese manager’s arrival.

However, that doesn’t mean he won’t leave Germany for the Premier League if he continues to dominate the Bundesliga the way he did last season.

Sesko has spent just over a year at Leipzig, making an immediate impact with 18 goals across all competitions in his debut season.

Karim Adeyemi (Borussia Dortmund)

Adeyemi is another Dortmund starlet destined for a mega-money transfer.

Despite Juventus’ best effort to lure him to Turin last summer, Die Borussen refused to sell their lightning-fast forward on unfavourable terms.

The 22-year-old enjoyed a phenomenal start to the new campaign, contributing to five goals in Dortmund’s opening five league fixtures.

However, a nasty muscle injury has hindered his progress.

Adeyemi’s quick feet and blistering pace make him a constant menace for defenders, complemented by his sharp awareness and vision.

It’s only a matter of time before he becomes Dortmund’s next profitable deal.

Omar Marmoush (Eintracht Frankfurt)

To describe his second season at the Deutsche Bank Park as formidable would be an understatement.

Not many European stars can keep up with Kane’s scoring capacities, let alone eclipse them.

But that’s what Marmoush has achieved this season.

After ten Bundesliga rounds, he’s the division’s joint-top scorer with the former Tottenham Hotspur captain.

With seven assists, he beats Kane’s tally by a slim margin.  

Liverpool have already identified him as a perfect long-term replacement for his fellow countryman Mohamed Salah.

Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen)

Wirtz is a generational talent. Any other description would be a waste of words.

He exploded onto the scene last term as the star man in Leverkusen’s unprecedented Bundesliga title run.

Exceptional in every sense of the word, Wirtz is among the most skilled number 10s in world football despite his young age.

In his recent interview with Abendzeitung, Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen admitted they may be unable to sign the prodigious playmaker amid fierce foreign competition.

With Manchester City ready to move on from Kevin De Bruyne’s trophy-laden era, Wirtz has emerged as an ideal candidate to fill the creative void.

It would be hard to blame Pep Guardiola for shattering another transfer record to lure the 21-year-old to the Etihad Stadium.
