Tottenham are actively monitoring Eintracht Frankfurt starlet ahead of the winter transfer window.
Tottenham Hotspur’s attacking troubles are becoming a major headache for Roberto De Zerbi this season.
We are already five games into the new Premier League campaign, and the Lilywhites have managed to score just two goals. The attack is disjointed and lacking any kind of penetration, with the forwards struggling to find the back of the net. This is one of the main reasons why the North Londoners are currently rooted at the bottom of the league table.
Things are not going according to plan for Roberto De Zerbi, who has so far struggled to get the best out of his players this season. Despite bringing in the likes of Savio, Omar Marmoush and Mykhailo Mudryk, Spurs could opt to add more firepower to the attack when the transfer window reopens in January.
Reputed journalist David Ornstein recently revealed that Tottenham might look to invest in a new No.9 as Richarlison’s long-term replacement. No wonder the club bosses have started scouting No.9s all across Europe.
Jurgen Klopp lavishes praise on Tottenham-linked Eintracht Frankfurt sensation
Recent reports suggest Eintracht Frankfurt forward Younes Ebnoutalib has emerged on Tottenham’s radar on the back of a meteoric rise over the last 10 months in the Bundesliga.
Younes Ebnoutalib only joined Eintracht Frankfurt from Elversberg in the winter transfer window but is already establishing himself as one of the most dangerous centre-forwards in Germany. The 23-year-old has found the back of the net five times in five matches across all competitions this season, which led to him being called up to the German national team. He played in both of Germany’s UEFA Nations League fixtures against the Netherlands and Greece.
Jurgen Klopp showered praise on Ebnoutalib after calling him up to the German national team last month.
“I saw his first game of the season for Eintracht and said to myself, ‘What a player! Where did they find him?’ There was no discussion among the coaching staff. We all immediately agreed: ‘Yes, we have to include him’,” Klopp said about Ebnoutalib.
Spurs aren’t the only Premier League club interested in the Frankfurt marksman. Brighton and Everton are also monitoring the Morocco-born Germany international, who plays a bit like Miroslav Klose. Klopp’s praise for the striker further elevates Ebnoutalib’s profile, inviting several other clubs to take notice of his talent and potential.
So, if the Lilywhites think the Frankfurt man could solve their goalscoring woes, they must act decisively for his signature in January itself.
