Mario Gotze - the man who won the last World Cup - wants to move to England to revive his career.

A string of Premier League clubs have been alerted to Borussia Dortmund playmaker Gotze’s availability this summer.

Arsenal, Everton and West Ham are among the clubs keeping tabs on the 26 year old’s situation.

And Leicester and Newcastle have made tentative enquiries for Gotze, who would cost around £18million, too.

Gotze was on top of the world when he fired Germany to World Cup glory in Brazil in 2014 with a dramatic extra-time winner against Argentina.

But he has endured a difficult four years since then.

The rest of his time at Bayern Munich didn’t go to plan and his return to Borussia Dortmund proved not to be the fairytale he had hoped for, leaving him eyeing a move to the Premier League kickstart his career.

Gotze failed to recapture the form of his first spell under Jurgen Klopp as he was hampered by injury and then a metabolic disease which was picked up in February 2017 and ended his season, caused fatigue and weight gain and was considered a contributing factor to his fitness problems.

He returned in July last year and showed flashes of his ability last season but not enough to earn a place in Germany’s squad for this summer’s World Cup.

Germany boss Joachim Loew said: “If a player scores the decisive goal in the final at such a young age, it can be a burden later.

“This season was not what we have all wished for from Mario Gotze. He just did not have the form. It's a difficult decision but I hope he returns.”

Gotze had Europe’s biggest clubs chasing him when he left Dortmund and is confident he can recapture his form that led to him being hailed as Germany's answer to Lionel Messi.

And he reckons a fresh start in the biggest league in the world will give him the perfect platform to showcase his ability again.
