Marko Marin – Chelsea
The Bundesliga is producing an exciting crop of young players at the moment, and Marin was considered as one of the best.
However, the 16-cap German international has seen his stock fall since joining Chelsea last summer.
The diminutive attacker has been limited to just six league appearances, but that could largely be down to the form of those around him, but a player of his pedigree should be able to force a few more games for himself even if it is his maiden season.
His Premier League career didn’t get off to the best start. Just four minutes into his debut, six months after joining the club, he launched into a horror challenge on QPR’s Stephane M’bia with his studs showing. He was lucky not to have been sent off and earned a lot of bad press for himself.
A loan move back to Germany could be likely, but there are still hopes that under the right guidance the 24-year-old will be able to salvage a his reputation in the Premier League.
