England reportedly face competition from Germany as they bid to secure the international future of Bayern Munich youngster Jamal Musiala.
The former Chelsea trainee has broken into the first-team squad at the Allianz Arena, being provided with one start and six substitute outings in all competitions this season.
The progression of the 17-year-old has led to a call-up to the England Under-21s squad, a sign that Three Lions officials have plans to promote the prospect to the senior ranks in the future.
However, the Daily Mail claims that the midfielder is also wanted by Germany, the country of his birth.
The report suggests that Musiala will be assured of a place in their Under-21s squad in March if he is prepared to shun England over the coming days.
