Germany World Cup winning captain Lothar Matthaus has admitted his admiration for Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala.

The former Chelsea and England youth teamer is now a star for Bayern and Germany.

Matthaus enthused: "He reminds me a bit of (Lionel) Messi. There is not much room for improvement.

“If things continue like this, he will win the Ballon d'Or one day. He can become the heir to Robert Lewandowski, but you have to be patient.

"It will not happen today or the day after tomorrow. But he has it all and he is already in the best place to achieve it."
