The 31-year-old however joined Sky Bet Championship club Wigan Athletic on loan in January and is looking forward to playing in Germany again.

“Germany is my home, I would always think about it,”Balogun was quoted by fussballtransfers.com.

“I’m still fit. Also, I will turn 32 this summer. I have few more years in my legs.

“I would also like to continue playing in England, but the bottom line is that there is nowhere like home.”

    Honestly,returning to the bundesliga is a no-brainer.England is not your home like you rightly said and as well the football.So you are better of moving back to a familiar terrain,a league which you know inside out,a football philosophy you were raised to adopt and where you are much appreciated.
    When you do the right thing at the right time you get maximum results.
    Meanwhile,Super eagles starting place is still there for the taking and the decision you make today will determine how serious you are about claiming back what was yours.
