Premier League duo Crystal Palace and Swansea City both want to bring Andre Schurrle back to the Premier League amid his fantastic form for Dortmund.
Should either Crystal Palace or Swansea City secure their Premier League status for another season, they should not wait around if they have any chance of signing Andre Schurrle from Borussia Dortmund.
The Mirror (12 March, page 67) report that the German international winger was close to leaving Signal Iduna Park in January and looked set for a return to England, only for an injury to BVB winger Andriy Yarmolenko to scupper the move.
But that has been something of a turning point in a Dortmund career which, until recently, had been a major disappointment. Schurrle is in the form of his life right now and is finally starting to look like the £26 million player Die Schwarzgelben signed from Wolfsburg in 2016.
The former Chelsea attacker looks confident and creative once again and has either scored or assisted six goals in all competitions since the January window slammed shut.
Suddenly, he is one of the first names on Peter Stoger’s team-sheet.
So you can see why both Swansea and Crystal Palace would love to bring Schurrle back to England. On current form, he would be the most naturally gifted and threatening attacking talent in both of their squads.
The worry for Roy Hodgson and Carlos Carvalhal, however, may be that Schurrle’s sudden renaissance will put Dortmund off selling him this summer.
