Having broken into Hertha BSC's first team at just 16, Kennet Eichhorn has caught the attention of several top European clubs, including Bayern Munich.

According to Sport, Bayern have now reached out to the youngster's agency, 11Wins, to express their interest in the talented midfielder.

The report points out that the German champions could hold an edge over their rivals, as they already have a strong relationship with 11Wins, who also represents two FC Bayern players – Jamal Musiala and Wisdom Mike.

Reports have suggested that Eichhorn has a €10-12 million release clause in his contract.
