Tottenham have allowed Ryan Sessegnon to join Hoffenheim on loan and he is the latest in a long line of British players to recently head to Germany.
Here, the PA news agency takes a look at some of those to make the switch and how they have fared in the Bundesliga.

The transfer of the Everton academy graduate to Bundesliga strugglers Paderborn in January went under the radar. He was unable to keep them in the top flight but featured six times after football resumed and the attacking midfielder has been used off the bench twice this term, but is yet to get off the mark for his new club.

Like many before him, the Welshman struggled to earn opportunities in the Bundesliga and a year at RB Leipzig resulted in limited game time. A star showing against Tottenham in the Champions League in February highlighted his potential though and he may look back on his loan in Germany as a key learning curve despite only featuring seven times. The 20-year-old is now on a season-long loan at Sheffield United form Chelsea.

After first playing in Bundesliga back in 2017, Oxford only made the move permanently to Germany last August following a loan spell with Augsburg. He has been in and out of the side and is yet to hit the heights of his West Ham debut as a 16-year-old, but will attempt to build on an encouraging 18 months in Bavaria.
