Senegalese striker Papiss Demba Cisse – ranked 13th on this week’s Top 20 – has previously stated a desire to move to the English Premier League, but if recent reports are anything to go by he will be staying in Germany... Graeme Jackson considers whether Bayern Munich would be good for Cisse? in his latest post in the African Top 20 Blog.
