Manchester United have entered the race to sign Schalke starlet Julian Draxler.
Club scouts have watched the 20-year-old five times this season with a view to pursuing a move for him next summer.
United boss David Moyes has been an admirer of Draxler for more than two years and hopes that a deal can be struck with Schalke despite interest also coming from a number of top European clubs.
"I like English football. I like the Premier League, of course - it's one of the best leagues in the world," he told the sportmazta on Tuesday.
"You have big clubs like Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea - of course it's a big dream to play for one of them.
"I have my favourite team but, at the moment, I'm at Schalke. I don't want to talk about other clubs."
Draxler came on as a second-half substitute as Germany won 1-0 on Tuesday and impressed United defender Rio Ferdinand, who praised the attacker on Twitter.
"The kid Draxler has got some ... liked what I've seen of him up to now," wrote the centre-back.
