Scout Report: Six Bundesliga stars who would make an impact in the Premier League

Kevin De Bruyne, Lukas Podolski, Edin Dzeko and Vincent Kompany, to name a few, have proven to be success stories after switching the German top-flight for those clubs in England.

It's becoming an increasingly travelled road between the two leagues, with English youngsters now seeing first team opportunities and developing their careers with Germany's elite.

The strength of the Bundesliga is reflected in their recent showings in Europe. RB Leipzig comfortably dispatched of Tottenham in the Champions League while Bayern Munich held a commanding lead over Chelsea before UEFA's top club competition was suspended. There was, of course, Bayern's 7-2 hammering of Spurs in the group stages too.

Here, Tom Carnduff picks out six names who don't always feature among the transfer gossip, but could be success stories if they made the switch to the Premier League.
