Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos is backing a future move for Bayer Leverkusen attacker Florian Wirtz.

Wirtz is regarded as Germany's next big thing.

And Kroos says: "Which players have the potential to play for Real Madrid? I should have a more global vision, but I think of Florian Wirtz.

"I think he could fit."

So far this season, Wirtz has scored six goals and made 10 assists. He struck a wonder goal against Freiburg last week which had Bayer coach Xabi Alonso amazed.

"A goal like that is not seen often. Few players in the Bundesliga can achieve such a special action. It was brutal! I will certainly remember this goal for many years," said Xabi.

Even Christian Streich, the visiting coach, declared: "It was a world-class action. You can't defend Florian Wirtz. What can you say? It's incredible, only Leroy Sané and him can do something like that."
