The young German has been tipped by many to be the next Cesc Fabregas and you can see why. He has maturity about him that doesn’t come with most players his age and you can see the immense quality he possesses when on the ball. He is quite slight in stature and needs to beef up to be competitive in the premiership but he is probably the closest of the under 21.s to being promoted to the first-team squad.

Hopefully he can continue to develop this Summer and be integrated into the first-team set-up a bit more next season, building on the start he made against Coventry in the FA Cup last season.
