Top 5 players who should return to Europe from the Chinese Super League

#2 Anthony Modeste (Tianjin Quanjian)

Modeste was one of Europe's most in-form strikers

Another striker in top form, Modeste had suffered an unfortunate blip in his career in 2012 when he couldn't manage to score in 9 appearances in the Premier League for Blackburn Rovers but he bounced back in style, becoming one of the Bundesliga's most feared forwards.

In his last 2 seasons in German football with FC Koln, Modeste smashed 40 goals in 68 league appearances. The Frenchman has only moved to Tianjin on loan at the moment, but there is an option to buy, once the loan deal expires.

Modeste was seemingly on the up in his career and at 29, and appeared to be right at his peak but he won't get to see how far he could truly go, playing in the Chinese Super League.

He also was another striker who never won a major honour while in Europe, and perhaps there will be a small part of him that would like another chance in England to show the fans what he can do. With 7 goals in his first 8 appearances for his new side, perhaps he'll get that opportunity in the summer.
