The 21-year-old attacker is rarity, highly rated by Europe’s big boys and not subject to a huge release clause.

He has underlined his reputation by making a promising star to his international career.

He hit three goals for Joachim Low’s side at the Confederations Cup in Russia and will be pushing to be part of his World Cup squad next summer.
