According to fichajes.com, Real Madrid are keeping a close watch on 16-year-old Metz midfielder Vincent Thill.
 

The Luxembourg born youngster joined the French club in 2012 despite strong interest from German giants Bayern Munich and made his first-team debut for Metz on September 21 against Bordeaux. And became the first ever player to appear in the top five European leagues who was born in 2000.
 

Thill has also now broken into his country’s full international team making his debut in a 3-0 defeat to Bosnia and Herzegovina in March of this year. In May, he netted in a 3-1 defeat to Nigeria to become Luxembourg’s youngest ever goalscorer and the first player born in the new millennium to score in an international match.

The future looks bright for the boy who started his career as CS Fola; the next step on his incredible journey could propel him onto one of the biggest stages in world football.
