Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann has revealed national team officials are "keeping an eye" on Celtic winger Nico Kuhn.
The 24-year-old has not been capped for his country but was a regular in the youth system for Germany.
However, his impressive form of late at Celtic has caught the attention of German officials with the winger being monitored over a possible call-up.
While Kuhn was left out of the squad for the current international break, Nagelsmann has confirmed the player is on the radar of national team coaches and is being seriously considered.
The Germany boss was directly quizzed on possible future squad inclusions for Kuhn alongside Malick Thiaw and Yann Bisseck.

Nagelsmann said: "We are focusing on all German players. Malick has been with the national team before but has been out for quite some time recently.
“I think both he and Bisseck are great players who still need to improve on some things.
"Kühn is also a good player with a lot of desire. He’s someone we’re keeping an eye on. But calling up a new player always means excluding another.”
Kuhn has been in electric form for Celtic this season with 10 goals and 11 assists across his 17 outings this term.

The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
