Tottenham Hotspur have intensified their pursuit of Eintracht Frankfurt forward Younes Ebnoutalib, with club scouts present at the Commerzbank-Arena for the German side’s 1-0 victory over 1. FC Köln on Friday. According to TEAMtalk, the 23-year-old winger was the primary focus of the observation mission, marking a significant escalation in Tottenham’s interest after earlier links emerged regarding a potential move for the attacking talent.

Ebnoutalib delivered a decisive performance against Köln, scoring the only goal of the match in the second half to secure the three points for Frankfurt. His clinical finish adds to an impressive early campaign, during which he has registered six goals and two assists in just seven appearances. The forward’s form has not gone unnoticed by the national team setup, as he recently earned his debut for the Germany senior squad, further elevating his profile among top-tier European clubs.
While Tottenham’s primary target was Ebnoutalib, the scouting party also monitored loanee Mikey Moore, who came off the bench but could not prevent Köln’s defeat. Ebnoutalib’s market value continues to rise, with Everton and Brighton & Hove Albion also reported to be in the mix for his signature. As the Premier League giants evaluate their options, the competition for the German international’s services is expected to heat up in the coming weeks.
