Brandt has been in impressive form for Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga this season and is attracting interest from a number of top clubs.

The 22-year-old made his name as a winger early on in his career, but has started to play in a more reserved central midfield role this season.

He has been capped 23 times by Germany at senior level and made over 200 appearances for Leverkusen since breaking into the first-team.
