Eintracht Frankfurt: Top talent Efthymiou remains-contract extended!

Bad Nauheim, Deutschland - Eintracht Frankfurt can breathe a sigh of relief: Sissis Efthymiou remains loyal to the association and has extended its contract. The young goalkeeper moves from the U19 to the U21, which has relegated to the Hessenliga. Nino Berndroth, head of the squad planning for the U17 to U21, praises Efthymiou for his positive development since moving to harmony. The 18-year-old has already played three games in the U19 DFB youth league and was also able to gain valuable experience in a DFB Cup game and two games in the A-Junior Hessen Cup. In addition, he recently participated in the U21 training session in Dreieich and now wants to take his chance to complete many competitive games and finally get a way in the Bundesliga squad.

Not only Efthymiou ensures conversation in Frankfurt. In summer there were always rumors about new commitments. However, reports on the interest in Jan-Niklas Best of 1.

Another talent that attracts the attention of Eintracht is Valentin Atangana. The 19-year-old from France played 41 games for Stade Reims last season. Some reports indicate that despite its contract, the association could be forced to sell Atangana, especially after the relegation of Stade Reims from Ligue 1. Eintracht Frankfurt has several competitors in the neck, including Mainz 05, Lazio Rome and Aston Villa, who are also interested in the midfielder.
