Kai Havertz, Pascal Groß and Bernd Leno are the only three Premier League legionnaires that national coach Julian Nagelsmann recently nominated for the German Football Association. But there are other German players who are currently playing in England and are impressing with good performances there.
Timo Werner is one of them, for example: The Leipzig player was loaned to Tottenham in the winter and has since appeared ten times (as of April 6th) in the Premier League. Arguments for the European Championship? Possibly - but Werner's performances in the recent past simply haven't been consistent enough. Vitaly Janelt is relatively unknown to the general football audience in this country, but he is a long-running favorite in central midfield. But if Janelt continues to deliver consistently, Nagelsman – or the future national coach – will no longer be able to get past the midfielder (market value: 22 million euros). After Toni Kroos (32) and Ilkay Gündogan (34), Groß (34) and Groß are not getting any younger.
