The German Under-21 international has been one of the most impressive attacking midfield players in the Bundesliga this season and looks likely to be on the move this summer as top clubs start to take notice of his performances. Arsenal were first linked with the 21-year-old back in January, and are now being tipped to renew their interest in the summer, but Juventus are also in the market for a new winger ahead of next season.
