Cologne striker Anthony Modeste is hoping his purple patch leads to a call up to wear the blue jersey of France after scoring six goals in five matches this season.

The 27-year-old has had a great start to the German league season since switching from Hoffenheim and is hoping his form will attract the attention of France coach Didier Deschamps.

"I want to take my chance in Cologne to show everyone what I'm capable of," Modeste told German magazine Sport Bild after winning 14 caps for France Under-21, but is waiting for his senior debut.

"If you're successful and your club is doing well, you attract attention and in Cologne the media presence is greater than at Hoffenheim."

After scoring 23 goals in two seasons at Hoffenheim, the former Bordeaux forward has hit the ground running this season with France to host Euro 2016 next June.

Modeste has scored three goals, plus two assists, in four domestic matches and bagged himself a hat-trick in Cologne's 4-0 win over minnows Meppen in the German Cup first round.

He even managed to get on the scoresheet in Cologne's 6-2 drubbing at the hands of Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend which left them eighth in the league table.

Modeste has a good chance to add to his tally when Cologne host bottom side Borussia Moenchengladbach on Saturday with Lucien Favre's side having suffered four straight league defeats.
