Germany midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has made claims that he could leave Bayern Munich this summer and make his way to the Premiership. The 23-year-old winger has been at Bayern ever since making his debut at the tender age of 18.
He is just moving into the last year of his contract at the Allianz Arena, but incoming manager Jurgen Klinsmann is keep to tie him down to a longer deal. Yet Schweinsteiger has made moves to open up a move to the Premiership:
I may stay with Bayern and the coach has promised to be supportive of whatever decision I make. England does have a good appeal as it is one of the world’s best leagues
I’ve always wanted to play there and we’ll see if it happens this year.
Schweinsteiger’s comments will alert Premiership clubs who will already have seen the best and worse of the German as he scored the opening goal against Portugal, but was also sent-off in the defeat to Croatia. Names to have been mentioned include Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Newcastle, yet his destination remains to be seen.

is he really that good? he burst into the scene in 2004 and then disappeared…just shines in the major international tournaments

That’s because he hardly played in a midfield of Ribery, Van Bommel, Ze Roberto and Altintop.
He’s a solid player. One of those right footed players on the left side.

i think he would be a good signing, and for those that say he only shines in international tournaments, how often do you watch the bundelsliga? or was Bayern munich in the champions league? I think he is good and would shine like a star in the English premier league.

hes a quality player…. bit of a hot head but got tons of class, a proper work horse. hes still very young so has loadsa time to improve. but the performance he put in for germany against portugal was nothing short of perfect.

i would love to see him at Chelsea next term. it would be good to go back to the winger bast game we had a few years ago. also his free kick delivery is second to none which is one of chelsea’s weaknesses.
tony would be the only other one i would bye. he could replace drogba like no one else could.
