Eyibil has been very close to earning a promotion to the senior side after scoring 12 goals and five assists in 18 games this season for the Mainz U-19 squad.

He has just one year left on his current deal and has yet to sign a new contract.

The youngster was just called up to the Germany U-18s for the first time as they take on France in a pair of friendlies.

Eyibil is eligible to represent both Germany and Turkey and has represented Germany at various youth levels.
