Five new transfers in the Bundesliga to watch out for

3.) Heung-Min Son (Bayer 04 Leverkusen and South Korea)

A lethal finisher for Hamburg last season, Son scored a career-best 12 goals last season, but that was not enough for the only side in the Bundesliga to not get relegated since its inception to make it into Europe the previous season.

Leverkusen, however, have made it to the group stages of the UEFA Champions League and like two of the other clubs on this list, relied heavily on soon-to-be 30-year-old Stefan Kie?ling, who scored an excellent 27 goals for his team last season. The Germany international has been linked to a host of clubs this season, and although he has committed himself to staying at the Bay Arena, the signing of Son before the arrival of Financial Fair Play means Leverkusen have secured their long-term goalscoring future. Son is 21 and having spent his entire professional career in Germany, the 6’1″ striker could help Leverkusen challenge the top two in the Bundesliga.
