Manchester United are among several clubs linked with Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha, who has impressed for Germany at the World Cup.
The Premier League side’s primary target is reportedly West Ham United’s Mateus Fernandes, but club legend Gary Neville believes Nmecha represents a strong alternative.
“The more he plays like he did the other night, the more expensive he’ll get,” Neville told ITV, referring to Nmecha’s performance in Germany’s 2-1 win over Côte d’Ivoire.
“He looked outstanding the other night. It looked like he had absolutely everything.”
Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright offered similar praise for the 25-year-old midfielder.
“When you look at him, he breaks lines, he gets into the box, he’s got Kimmich to come in and fill in for him,” Wright said.
“He can play as a No.8 or No.10, we can see he can finish, you can see why teams are interested in him. He’s got everything."
