Noel Aseko has been linked with a move from German champions Bayer Munich, with the likes of West Ham United and Brighton keen to sign him.
Transfermarkt.de reports that two Premier League clubs are monitoring the 20-year-old and could make a move for him this summer. The defensive midfielder has struggled to get regular minutes at the German club and is yet to make his first-team debut.
The player will be desperate for more opportunities and a move to the Premier League would be ideal for him, especially if West Ham or Brighton are prepared to give him the game time he needs.
It will be interesting to see whether the German champions will allow him to leave.
The Germany Under-21 international is currently on loan at Hannover 96 until the end of the season, with the club having an option to make him a permanent transfer for €1 million. However, the German champions have the option of bringing him back to the club in the summer for 2.4 million euros. If West Ham and Crystal Palace are prepared to pay a premium, it would be no surprise if Bayern Munich decide to bring him back and sell him quickly for a profit.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. A midfielder needs to join a club where he can get enough opportunities. Sitting on the bench at a big club will have a negative impact on his development. It remains to be seen whether he can sort out his long-term future quickly enough to focus on football again.
