Borussia Dortmund attacker Andre Schurrle may leave the club in the winter transfer window, following a highly unsatisfactory start to this new campaign. The German world cup winner has struggled with injuries and lack of game time with the Black and Yellows this season.
Schurrle’s advisor, Ingo Haspel, last week emphasized that the German international is looking to play as much as possible, especially with the World Cup just around the corner. Therefore, a move away from the Westfalenstadion seems a likely scenario.
In this article, we will discuss three Premier League clubs who should definitely try to secure the services of the former Chelsea winger in the upcoming January transfer window.
Crystal Palace
Palace are in dire need of attacking reinforcement in the winter transfer window as they continue to struggle in the offensive department this season.
In addition, the Eagles might also lose star winger Wilfried Zaha in January, with Arsenal and Manchester City interested, which could be a significant loss for head coach Roy Hodgson.
Zaha has been one of the few players, who has managed to stand out despite a dismal start to the campaign and should they lose him, Andre Schurrle could actually be a very good replacement for the 25-year-old. His exposure in the Premier League coupled with his talent could be helpful for the Eagles as they aim to steer clear out of the relegation battle in the second half of the season.
West Bromwich Albion
The Baggies have also lacked attacking endeavour in the final third this season, which is reflected in their awful league position this season.
Even though the addition of Jay Rodriguez has somewhat boosted the attacking department, the Baggies still lack the final product as well as directness into the opposition channels.
Andre Schurrle could add that extra dimension to the West Brom attack. His sheer pace along with his ability to get in behind the defence are perfectly suited for the tactical philosophy of head coach Alan Pardew.
Swansea City
Swansea City’s bad season just keeps getting worse it seems as the Welsh outfit are currently lavishing in the rock bottom of the Premier League table. The Swans have found the net only eleven times this season, the lowest in the Premier League so far.
Even though Tammy Abraham has been one of the few reasons for rejoicing among the Swansea faithful this season, the youngster desperately lacks support in the final third of the pitch with players like Jordan Ayew, Nathan Dyer and Luciano Narsingh, constantly failing to find the back of the net.
Andre Schurrle could be a huge boost in the attacking department for the Swans as the German international can not only add some much-needed incision in the final third but also improve their goal-scoring prowess. His addition will definitely help the club to battle against the brink of relegation in the second half of the season.
