The defensive midfielder has also undergone a hair transformation, dying it pink. He may enjoy mealworms whenever he can but they are actually illegal to import into the UK. They are regularly eaten in Europe, though, and are often either pan-fried or baked.

Speaking in a YouTube chat with Germany team-mate David Raum, he said: "I love mealworms. They are a good source of protein. In fact I don't just love them – I think they are awesome."
