English players with the most appearances in the Bundesliga

We take a look at the top 10 English players with the most appearances in the Bundesliga.

Football

• Owen Hargreaves (145)

Trialing for Bayern Munich in 1996, Owen Hargreaves would progress through the ranks and go on to play 145 league games for the Bavarians, winning the Bundesliga on four occasions before making the move to Manchester United in 2007.

• Tony Woodcock (131)

Tony Woodcock had two separate spells with 1. FC Koln, initially joining the club from Nottingham Forest in 1979, before returning in 1986 after a four-year spell at Arsenal.

• Jadon Sancho (118)

Leaving Manchester City's youth academy to join Borussia Dortmund in 2017, Jadon Sancho impressed so much in the Bundesliga that Man Utd were willing to pay a £73m fee for his services.

It hasn't quite worked out at Old Trafford, with the winger returning to Dortmund for a brief loan spell in the second half of the 2023/24 term.

• Jude Bellingham (92)

Incredibly, Dortmund's sale of Sancho isn't the highest fee that the club have received for an English player, topped when the Bundesliga outfit sold Jude Bellingham to Real Madrid for €103m after playing 92 league games for the club.

• Kevin Keegan (90)

Kevin Keegan made the switch from Liverpool to Hamburger SV in 1977, adding the Bundesliga to his list of accolades in the 1978/79 campaign.

• Reece Oxford (84)

Reece Oxford enjoyed two separate loan spells with Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach, before making the permanent switch to fellow German outift FC Augsburg, accumulating 84 Bundesliga appearances along the way.

• Jamie Gittens (76)

While Jamie Gittens may not add to his 76 Bundesliga appearances amid talks of a move to Chelsea, the 20-year-old followed in the footsteps of fellow English winger Sancho, making the move to Dortmund from Man City's youth setup.

• Harry Kane (63)

England's all-time top goalscorer, Harry Kane made the switch from Tottenham to Bayern Munich in search of silverware, granted his wish when getting his hands on the Bundesliga title at the end of the 2024/25 term.

• Peter Hobday (61)

Peter Hobday's spent a large percentage of his footballing career in Germany, but made just 61 appearances for three different sides.

• Jonjoe Kenny (60)

Former Everton full-back Jonjoe Kenny enjoyed a season on loan at Shalke in the 2019/20 term, before joining Hertha Berlin on a permanent transfer in 2022.
