Bayern Munich great Michael Rummenigge has urged Mario Gotze to move to England.

The Borussia Dortmund midfielder comes off contract in June.

Rummenigge said in Sportbuzzer: "I'm thinking [he could join] clubs like Everton or West Ham or some Italian middle-of-the-table club.

"In the Bundesliga, he could fit with Borussia Monchengladbach or Leverkusen. I hope that he shakes off the pressure and finds his way although, right now, I have my doubts."

He continued: "When I give lectures, I always show the audience one scene at the end - Mario Gotze's goal in the 2014 World Cup final. I always see a smile on the faces and I enjoy it, too.

"At the same time, I always feel a little sad. I wonder what has happened since then. What happened to this outstanding soccer player who could do everything? I can't find answers to these questions. Probably only Mario Gotze himself can find them.

"The crux of the matter was his move to Bayern. When he went to Munich in the summer of 2013, his development was not yet complete. Even after returning to Dortmund, he never really got back to his best there.

"He has to change some things. He lost his speed and should change his game, be more of a playmaker. He is no striker."
