Two names on Eintracht Frankfurt’s winger shortlist

Sport Bild reports that Eintracht Frankfurt have drawn up a two-man shortlist in their search for a right winger.

According to Sport Bild, Eintracht Frankfurt are looking to sign a right winger with the ability to cut in and shoot.

The report claims that Freiburg’s Ritsu Doan is a top target. The Japan international is under contract until 2027 and would be available for an estimated €15 million.

Die Adler aren’t the only suitors for Doan, though. According to Sport Bild, the 26-year-old turned down interest from a number of clubs in January, but a departure at the end of the season doesn’t seem unlikely.

A key factor for the 26-year-old is said to be the prospect of playing European football.

As well as Doan, Bordeaux’s Dilane Bakwa is also reportedly on Eintracht’s shortlist. 

Contracted to Bordeaux until 2027, the 22-year-old has a market value of €15 million, according to Transfermarkt, but would likely cost more than Doan because he’s four years younger.

Bakwa already knows Eintracht duo Hugo Ekitiké and Elye Wahi, with whom he played for France at youth level, and has the same agent as Michy Batshuayi, who recently joined the club from Galatasaray.

According to Sport Bild, Eintracht are also monitoring Celtic’s Nicolas Kühn, but he’s not considered a top target.
