Tottenham intensify chase for Frankfurt striker ahead of January

Tottenham Hotspur have sent scouts to watch 23‑year‑old German forward Younes Ebnoutalib in action, a clear sign that the north London club are sharpening their interest ahead of the January transfer window.

Why Spurs target Ebnoutalib

The scouting mission took place at Eintracht Frankfurt’s Bundesliga clash with Cologne, where the striker netted the decisive goal in a 1‑0 win, according to an exclusive report from TEAMtalk. His latest strike lifted his league tally to five, underlining his reputation as a clutch performer.

Ebnoutalib has enjoyed an outstanding start to the campaign, establishing himself as one of the Bundesliga’s most exciting attacking prospects. Tottenham have monitored him for several months, impressed by his physical presence, movement and clinical finishing, qualities that could bolster their attacking options.

Potential hurdles and competition

Frankfurt are in a strong position to retain the forward, having signed him in January and tied him to a long‑term contract until 2031. Meanwhile, Brighton, Everton and Newcastle United have also been linked with the German striker, meaning Spurs will face competition for his signature.

Jurgen Klopp, Germany’s head coach, has already shown faith in Ebnoutalib by granting him a senior call‑up, adding international recognition to his résumé. Tottenham’s continued assessment of his progress will determine whether they make a formal approach.

If the striker maintains his impressive form, interest could intensify, potentially making him one of the most sought‑after young centre‑forwards in the upcoming transfer windows. For Spurs, securing Ebnoutalib would provide depth and a long‑term solution up front, while Frankfurt would aim to keep a key asset.
