Werder Bremen midfielder Davy Klaassen has taken aim at the culture of the Premier League.

The Dutch midfielder flopped spectacularly after Everton shelled out £23.6million to bring him in from Ajax.

But just 12 months later the 25-year-old was packing his bags again, after Everton accepted a bid of £12.25m from Werder Bremen.

Speaking to Aller-Zeitung, Klaassen said: "In England, it's all about the money – because it's just there. Basically the clubs can shop as they want.

"In Germany, this really big money is not there. The clubs are more concerned with developing an idea, a philosophy.

"For me, the move to Bremen is also something of a change back to the roots of football."
