Frankfurt eye Brighton's Mahmoud Dahoud as Oscar Hojlund replacement

The Bundesliga side, struggling with midfield depth following Oscar Hojlund's metatarsal fracture, have pinpointed Dahoud as a crucial reinforcement.

With Hojlund, 19, sidelined indefinitely due to his injury, Frankfurt's manager, Dino Toppmoller, is eager to bolster his midfield options.

Dahoud, a former Borussia Dortmund player, has expressed a strong desire to return to the Bundesliga.

According to Florian Plettenberg, negotiations between Frankfurt and Dahoud have reached an advanced stage.

The completion of the transfer hinges on reaching an agreement with Brighton.

Despite Dahoud not featuring in Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler‘s plans, the deal is expected to proceed smoothly.

Dahoud is now awaiting clearance from Brighton to travel to Frankfurt for a medical examination before finalising the transfer.
