Oliver Burke is a name that has only really started circulating in the past couple of months.

The former Nottingham Forest man burst onto the scene in the Championship earlier this season and as soon as we saw him play for Philippe Montanier's side, we knew he would be special.

But his time in England came to an abrupt end when Forest sanctioned the sale of their prized youngster to Bundesliga newcomers Red Bull Leipzig, who have lofty ambitions of their own.

Part of the Red Bull brand of football teams, they're new on the scene in the top flight of Germany but will be looking to consolidate themselves as one of the bigger sides in the league.

And with Burke having got off the mark within five minutes of his full debut, it's clear he's going to do well in Germany and could play even better in time.

So with that in mind, just how good can he get?

Here are THREE reasons why he is destined to be a star...

He's got the feel of Jimmy Johnstone

Ask any Scottish football fan about the great Jimmy Johnstone and they'll probably claim that he's one of the best outside right forwards their country have ever seen.

The former Celtic man, who played over 500 times for the Hoops, was quick, aggressive and ran at players for fun. And Burke gives you that very same feeling. He's direct, fearless and seriously powerful and if he can continue developing at his current rate there is little doubt he can become a key figure in the national set-up too.

He's seriously versatile

Many Forest fans branded Burke as a bit of an out-and-out winger but the 19-year-old has the build of a man that could, in time, become a fantastic centre-forward.

He's built like a brick wall and combine this with his athletism and pace, you've got a seriously good player. He scored after just five minutes when his side faced Cologne and whilst they couldn't hold out for the win, the performance was seriously promising.

Having a player that can play out wide and as a central striker is fantastic for any side and for Leipzig it could be a blessing.

He's only 19

Perhaps the biggest reason Oliver Burke will be a star is that he's only 19-years-old.

To provide the skill, pace and qualities that he does at his age is fantastic for both Scotland and Leipzig and you wouldn't rule out a move to an even better team in years to come if he continues at this level.

Rarely do we see such young players hit the ground running like Burke has and what's more, make such a seamless transition to a foreign country.
