Bayer Leverkusen among other Bundesliga clubs are looking at signing Justin von der Hitz from FC Köln.
Fussball Transfers broke the news this afternoon regarding the right-back and a potential move away from Effzeh.
With contract talks between the 18-year-old and the club stalling, von der Hitz looks to be plotting his exit.
Leverkusen see the youngster as a long-term successor to Jeremie Frimpong, while another top-four Bundesliga side has made enquiries.
One such club which sounds a lot like RB Leipzig, could pick him up on a free transfer and “loan him to a partner club”.
The only remotely possible way von der Hitz remains at Koln is if he makes 5 appearances first the first-team which is looking unlikely.
