Jurgen Klopp is keen to acquire his compatriot, who has dazzled for his club's Under-17 side, scoring 18 goals and assisting 21 more. Die Werderaner's academy director Bjorn Schierenbeck has hinted that Premier League giants are lining up moves.

"I wouldn't want to rule out the interest in David from the English clubs," Schierenbeck is quoted as saying. "But I don't know exactly how firm it is. We would be very eager to continue working together with David."
