Clubs in Germany are keen on the 16-year-old as well, and it will be interesting to see where Eichhorn ends up. He has been hailed as \u201cremarkable\u201d by Toni Kroos.<\/a> Kroos has also claimed that the player could be worth \u20ac60 million soon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unbelievable what the boy can do. He\u2019s mentally very focused with no airs or graces.\u00a0I\u2019m sure Hertha are going to have a lot of fun with him,\u201d veteran Hertha defender Toni Leistner said of him.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Kennet Eichhorn is an elite talent<\/h2>\n

He has been a key player for the German club in the second division this season. The opportunity to compete at a higher level will be exciting for him. However, he needs to choose his next destination carefully. Joining a big club only to sit on the bench would not be ideal for him. He needs regular opportunities in order to continue his development.<\/p>\n

Arsenal and Manchester United must provide him with game-time assurances if they want to sign the young midfielder.<\/p>\n

Arsenal needs more quality and depth in the defensive midfield department. The German midfielder could be the ideal long-term replacement for Christian Norgaard, who has not been able to hold down a regular starting spot since joining the London club.<\/p>\n

At Manchester United, they will need to replace Casemiro in the summer, and the 16-year-old could be a superb investment for them as well.<\/p>\n

Hertha BSC will find it difficult to keep the player at the club, especially if a lucrative offer is on the table at the end of the season. It remains to be seen where the 16-year-old ends up. He is a promising young player, and Eichhorn is expected to develop into a future star with the right guidance.<\/p>\n
