Toni Kroos is born on January 4th 1990. He is a German football player, member of Bayern München and the German youth national teams. Kroos who plays as a midfield playmaker, is a product of Bayern's youth football school and it has been announced that he will be made part of Bayern's first-team for the 2007/08 season, at the age of 17. Recently Uli Hoeness said that in the future Toni will play with the number 10 shirt in the Bayern Munich first team. The No10 jersey at the Bavarian giants is not going to any of the club's prestigious new signings, since it has already been earmarked for 17-year-old Toni Kroos, providing he maintains his remarkable development. The hopes of a nation already rest upon his young shoulders, with many seeing him as the man to take over from Michael Ballack at the apex of the German midfield. With this in mind, Kroos headed off to the FIFA U-17 World Soccer Cup, Korea 2007 where he won the ADIDAS Golden Ball as the best player on the tournament.
