Real Madrid interested in German midfielder Florian Wirtz

Real Madrid are targeting Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz, according to Madridista Real.

Here's what to know about the German:

Still a teenager

Wirtz is only 18 years old and already making waves across Europe.

The fact that he's so young means he's one for the future. This is one signing that could help Los Blancos remain a force for many years to come.

Best position and style

Wirtz is noted as a player who can play as a central midfielder, but his best position is attacking midfield, just behind the striker.

He likes to carry the ball forward and make goal contributions with his incisive runs. The teenager is fast and covers a lot of ground per game. Stats show he covers an average of 6KM per match.

He's a goalscorer

So far, Wirtz has shown that he has a keen eye for goal. This season, he's scored 10 goals in 28 matches - three of those goals have come in the Europa League.

He's also been superb in terms of goal-contribution, with 13 assists so far.

Kroos comparison

Wirtz has been compared to Real Madrid icon Toni Kroos.

Publications in Germany see him as a future great for the German national team.

This could be one hell of a signing for Real Madrid if it goes through.
