Eintracht Frankfurt is reportedly determined to bring French talent Djylian N'Guessan into their squad for the upcoming 2026-27 season.

The Hessen club is reportedly in active negotiations with Saint-Étienne to sign the player, with intensive talks taking place.

Frankfurt's chiefs sees the 17-year-old's dynamism, physical strength, and clinical finishing as a near-perfect for the Bundesliga.

Reports indicate that the German side is exerting considerable pressure to finalize the transfer terms and assess the player's value.

Frankfurt's direct entry into the race has made this one of the club's most aggressive moves of this summer transfer window.

However, several other clubs including Premier League powerhouse Tottenham Hotspur, are closely monitoring the striker.
