According to Footmercato in France a big name on the wish list is Eintracht Frankfurt talent Bahoya.

The 21-year-old brings versatility to the table, as he can play on the left wing, as a trequartista behind the striker, or even as a centre-forward.

A product of the Angers youth academy, he was sold to Eintracht Frankfurt in January 2024 for circa €8m.
