Football is a spectator sport and enjoys a fan following like no other. The unpredictable nature of the game makes it beautiful. Big clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester City, among others, are capable of boasting top-level players that are just perfect for their team.
The perfect combination of the right players in the right team makes them an unstoppable force and thus we see scouts on the run throughout the year. The same fact makes the transfer window an interesting saga.
Every year we are fortunate to witness the most famous transfer rumor turning into a reality. We see highly talented players joining the teams they deserve to and creating magic thereafter. However, the same isn't the case in many instances. In this article, let's take a look at 5 players who are too good for their teams.
Trending
#5 Declan Rice (West Ham)
Since Jack Grealish's high profile transfer, the bars have risen within the Premier League. Many talented players who play for smaller clubs are getting recognition and have fallen under the radar of big teams in England.
One such player is West Ham United's Declan Rice. The Hammers have risen to fame under their manager David Moyes and Declan Rice has been his best player. His fame and skill has earned him the captain's arm-band after Mark Noble lost his permanent place in the team.
The 23-year-old is a hot target for several big clubs and it is highly likely they will rope in the midfielder in the near future. Even though Rice is the backbone of his team and a major contributor to their success, the truth prevails that he is a tad bit better to be playing for the Hammers.
#4 James Rodriguez (Al-Rayyan SC)
Ever since the 2014 FIFA World Cup, James Rodriguez's career graph has seen several highs and lows. From being the top goal-scorer in the tournament to joining Real Madrid and later Bayern Munich and Everton, James Rodriguez has seen it all.
As of now, the former Real Madrid number 10 is a part of the Qatari team Al-Rayyan SC. No matter how low James' career might hit, his fans and pundits would certainly agree on one fact - he is too young and talented to be playing outside Europe.
The Columbian international was re-united with Carlo Ancelotti at Everton. However, the duo couldn't produce the magic that they did during their Real Madrid days.
#3 Son Heung-Min (Tottenham Hotspur)
Son Heung-Min is one of the players in the Premier League who is long due to winning a team trophy. Playing for Tottenham Hotspur has put Son's career at a difficult stage.
The South Korean player has earned enough fame and love from the supporters over the course of years. However, the forward is yet to win a trophy. Fans of the players and the club would be in unison upon the fact that Son is a player who is too good to be not winning silverware.
Many expected the former Bayer Leverkusen star to graze for greener patches at the end of his contract in 2021. However, Heung-Min Son has signed another long-term deal with the club. His potential makes him highly deserving of a team title and with Spurs, there are lesser chances of him grabbing one for a long time.
#2 Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)
Harry Kane has set an infamous record for scoring the highest number of goals without winning a trophy. The Spurs captain has been linked with a move away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on numerous occasions. But the English international has always been loyal to his current club.
The 2021-22 transfer window saw huge drama unfold over Kane. Pep Guardiola and Manchester City scouts were doing their best to bring the English international to the Etihad. However, Kane had to turn down the move and remained with Spurs.
Should Harry Kane have agreed to join the legions of Manchester City, the club would have found a perfect replacement for Sergio Aguero. Kane would have had his best shot at winning the PL title as well.
#1 Erling Haaland (Borussia Dortmund)
Erling Haaland being too good for his team has nothing to do with Borussia Dortmund's form or ability. The Bundesliga side has been a thorn in the Bavarians' path in an otherwise Bayern Munich dominant league.
Poaching the best players from Dortmund and eliminating competition has been Bayern Munich's best strategy to remain the strongest in the league. Without a doubt, Erling Haaland is under Bayern Munich's radar at present.
The Norwegian striker has done nothing but smash records ever since turning pro. He has scored 78 goals off 77 games across all competitions for Dortmund. While his form has helped Borussia Dortmund win games and trophies, the same has made him a hot property in the transfer market.
It is inevitable that Dortmund will be losing Haaland in the coming years.
