The increase in English youngsters leaving for stardom in the Bundesliga proves they are producing better players than their German rivals
English teams have overtaken German clubs when it comes to producing young players, Borussia Dortmund’s sporting director Michael Zorc says.
As ex-Manchester City youth Jadon Sancho continues to shine with Bundesliga leaders Dortmund and Arsenal's Reiss Nelson enjoying a bright loan spell at Hoffenheim, the German top-flight has become an attractive league for young English players deprived of a chance to prove themselves in the Premier League.
Emile Smith Rowe became the latest to join a German side when he moved to RB Leipzig on loan from Arsenal in January, while Bayern Munich are targeting Callum Hudson-Odoi, who has been frustrated by a lack of playing time at Chelsea.
