England assistant coach Steve Holland's visit to Hoffenheim was appreciated by Reiss Nelson.
The Arsenal midfielder is on-loan at TSG from the Gunners.
He told the Daily Mail: "He came to the training ground. We showed him round and he watched the game. He said I've just got to keep performing, and hopefully I can get there in the end. Every young kid dreams to play for their country.
"I am just at the beginning. I want to get to the very top. My family deserve everything they will get.
"For them to see me now in an Arsenal shirt and a Hoffenheim shirt, scoring my first goal here, they were literally in tears. It can only get better. I just need to stay loyal to God and anything can happen."
