Bayern Munich defender Niklas Sule has revealed he came close to a move to the Premier League in 2017, but the lure of the Bavarian giants was too strong.
The Germany international joined Bayern from Hoffenheim for €20 million (£18m/$23m) in July of 2017 and has gone on to make 64 appearances and win two Bundesliga titles in his time with the club.
Chelsea were reportedly interested in his services a couple of seasons ago, and they and other teams in England will be on alert after Sule said he’d still like to play in the country one day.
