Goal takes a look at the best and worst among players who came to the Premier League from Bundesliga...
Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Haaland's impending move to Manchester City is sure to be one of the most talked-about transfers in the upcomng summer transfer window.
The Cityzens have confirmed that they have triggered a £51 million release clause for Erling Haaland.
Thus, Haaland is all set to become the latest player to join a long list of footballers who have come to the Premier League from the Bundesliga.
While some of them have been a massive success for their respective clubs, several players have failed to live up to the expectations.
Players like Kevin De Bruyne, Vincent Kompany, Ilkay Gundogan, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and German legend Michael Ballack have enjoyed good spells in the Premier League. On the other hand, players like Bastian Schweinsteiger, Timo Werner and Jadon Sancho have not delivered as per expectations. At least in case of Werner and Sancho, they still have time on thieir hands to become a success.
