Yeah, the fact Dortmund are now almost guaranteed CL football and are now considered genuine contenders for the Bundesliga title makes them far more appealing to top players than teams like West Ham and Everton.
And who said Wolves and Leicester are more exciting? Wolves are having a good season and obviously Leicester won the Prem but neither have established a position in the league, compared with the 'big 6': MC, MU, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs. If anything, Everton are generally recognised as being the best-of-the-rest and might on occassions break into that 6 but even they rarely keep it up for more than a season.
Also, if there's an exciting underdog team this season I'd say it's Bournemouth more than anyone, and who knows how they'll do for the rest of this season, never mind the next one or the one after that. Every season has its surprise team but they rarely carry it into the next one. Last season it was Burnley. Look at them now.
