Bayern Munich great Lothar Matthaus admits he's a fan of Bayer Leverkusen teen Florian Wirtz.

Matthaus likens the midfielder to Chelsea ace Kai Havertz.

"He's a talented player," said Matthaus.

"He will be the next Kai Havertz. He will go the same way as Havertz.

"In a few years we will see him play for the German national team and for a big, big team in Europe. It really is an appropriate comparison."
