Dennis Praet

The Premier League boasts some of the best midfielders in the world right now. Apart from established midfielders, many young midfielders have the potential to be the best in Europe. Dennis Praet is one of those PL midfielders that can take that next step.

Praet has seamlessly adapted to the English conditions since joining Leicester City from Sampdoria last summer. The Belgian midfielder was initially used as an option from the bench. Slowly and steadily, he has established himself in the starting lineup under Brendan Rodgers.

The Belgian international operates mainly as a central midfielder, but he can also do a job on the flanks. His good passing range can help him to play in the deep-lying playmaker role. Rodgers has been using him as a number eight, which allows him to be the link between attack and midfield.

Tolisso is more dynamic than Praet, but the latter can still do a fairly good job of replacing the former. Leicester are very good at negotiating big transfer fees for their players, so the transfer fee will be again a stumbling block for Die Roten. If Bayern manages to find a way to reduce the fee for Praet by sending Mickael Cuisance on a one-year loan deal, then they have done well to replace Tolisso at a decent price.
