Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos admits he's a big fan of Julian Weigl.

Kroos believes Borussia Dortmund's Julian Weigl, a 21-year-old central midfielder, most resembles him and that he will be world class.

Weigl is having an excellent season under Thomas Tuchel at Dortmund and has already attracted the attention of some of the biggest European teams including Barcelona and Real Madrid.

His agents reportedly offered the player to Real Madrid and he is seen as a possible long-term replacement for Sergio Busquets. He has a contract with the German side until 2021.
