Fresh Frankfurt firepower

Likewise, Eintracht have been active in the early stages of the winter transfer window, bolstering their ranks with the additions of the likes of Younes Ebnoutalib, who led the Bundesliga 2 goalscoring charts in the first half of the season with 12 goals in 17 appearances for Elversberg. They have also added Ayoube Amaimouni-Echghouyab, Love Arrhov, Keita Kosugi, Keito Kumashiro, whilst sending forward to Elye Wahi out on loan to French side Nice.

Dortmund departure

Dortmund will travel to Frankfurt without Pascal Groß, who returned to join former team Brighton and Hove Albion at the start of January on a permanent deal.
