00:00 Liverpool are reportedly targeting a 17-year-old wonderkid wanted by some of Europe's elite, but who is he?
00:05 Assam Wehr Drago is 17, German, and has just broken into the first team at FC Schalke this season.
00:11 Now the German side currently play in Germany's second division after being relegated
00:15 last season for the first time in 30 years. But despite the relegation,
00:19 it's given the youngsters a chance to get regular first team football in that division and in the first team.
00:25 So far, he's played 10 times this season and scored once, which is on his debut in a 5-3 loss against Hamburg.
00:30 And he is currently attracting attention from Liverpool, AC Milan, and Bayern Munich to name a few.
00:36 He posted very strong records at youth level for Schalke at the under-17 and under-19 level before being promoted to the first team
00:42 and he also helped the under-17 German national team secure the under-17 European Championships in the summer just gone.
00:49 In terms of his position, he can play either out wide on the left in central midfield a little bit deeper or
00:55 even attacking midfield. Plus he stands incredibly tall at 6ft 3, which is outrageous for a 17-year-old.
01:01 And he's definitely one to keep an eye on across the coming years as Liverpool are definitely interested in signing the youngster.
