Celtic midfielder Mika Baur has been praised as an "exciting" talent by Germany manager Jurgen Klopp.
This comes after the 22-year-old earned his first senior Germany call-up. Klopp commended Baur's promising start in Glasgow following his summer move from Paderborn.
The newly-appointed Germany manager said: "I consider him really exciting. He's absolutely up for it. We also spoke on the phone about the weather in Glasgow – something I know well from Liverpool.
"With this move, he's taken on a very challenging step."
