Eintracht Frankfurt Targets West Ham Midfielder Soungoutou Magassa

Eintracht Frankfurt have expressed interest in signing 22‑year‑old West Ham United midfielder Soungoutou Magassa. The French‑born player, who joined West Ham on a long‑term deal in August 2025 running until June 2031, has made 26 appearances for the London club – 22 in the league – and contributed one goal and one assist.

West Ham were relegated to the Championship this summer, prompting a reassessment of their wage bill and squad composition. The German side, newly led by manager Adi Hütter – who previously coached Magassa at Monaco – see an opportunity to acquire the box‑to‑box midfielder at a reduced price. As reported, “Eintracht Frankfurt are keen to lure him over to Germany.” Any deal would help West Ham free up funds while providing Frankfurt with a player familiar with Hütter’s tactics.

The potential transfer reflects the broader market dynamics that follow a Premier League club’s drop to the second tier, where selling assets becomes a realistic strategy for financial stability and squad rebuilding.
