If you're an up and coming talent looking for a career springboard, then Bayer Leverkusen isn't the worst choice.

This is evident by the Werkself's transfer record, with numerous young players earning a big-money move after impressing at Leverkusen.

Leverkusen may not win title after title, but as a regular in the Champions League, the club offers its players the opportunity to test themselves regularly on Europe's biggest stage.

There have been several players who have managed to attract the attention of some of the finest clubs in the world with their performances for Leverkusen, helping the Bundesliga side fill their coffers.
