Tottenham scout Frankfurt striker after fifth Bundesliga goal this Friday
Tottenham Hotspur sent scouts to Deutsche Bank Park on Friday, where 23‑year‑old Younes Ebnoutalib netted his fifth Bundesliga goal of the campaign to clinch a 1‑0 win for Eintracht Frankfurt over Cologne, an "Exclusive" report confirms.
Scouting mission and dual focus
The north London club used the trip not only to assess the Frankfurt striker but also to monitor loan player Mikey Moore, who entered the match from the bench for Cologne. Moore could not alter the result, but his appearance gave Spurs a chance to evaluate his development during his loan spell.
Teamtalk earlier this year disclosed that Tottenham have been tracking Ebnoutalib, and the Friday visit offered a close‑up look at his progress. His late intervention, scoring just over ten minutes from time, secured all three points for Frankfurt and reinforced the club’s interest.
Growing reputation and competition
Ebnoutalib’s impact has accelerated his reputation, earning him recognition at international level for Germany and admiration from Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp. His form, age and knack for decisive moments have attracted attention from several European clubs, with Tottenham listed among the most vigilant.
Spurs’ presence at the match served a dual purpose: observing their own loanee Moore while re‑evaluating a player firmly on their radar. The German forward’s match‑winning contribution highlighted why the club continues to watch him closely, though any transfer would depend on how interest from rival clubs evolves.
With the forward’s performances drawing increasing scrutiny, Tottenham will keep a close watch on his development in the coming weeks and months, aware that competition for his signature is intensifying.
