Joachim Low said Joshua Kimmich could become a defensive midfielder for Germany on a regular basis after the Bayern Munich star impressed against France.
Kimmich, who plays at right-back for Bayern and can also operate in the centre of defence, played alongside Toni Kroos in front of the Germany defence as Die Mannschaft held World Champions France to a 0-0 draw on Thursday.
Low heaped praise on Kimmich, and said he also saw Paris Saint-Germain defender Thilo Kehrer as a potential candidate to play in midfield.
"I think that Kimmich will be a solution for the near future at number six, which I really liked," Low told reporters ahead of Germany's friendly against Peru.
