Breitner: Premier League lacks quality of Bundesliga, La Liga

Despite having plenty of money and great coaches, the former Bayern Munich player does not believe the game's best players want to play in the English Premier League.

Count former West Germany and Bayern Munich midfielder Paul Breitner as someone who doesn’t think money is going to buy the Premier League happiness.
