Eintracht Frankfurt targets youth talent to rebuild defense

Eintracht Frankfurt is looking to bolster its defense by promoting internal talent following the departure of Nathaniel Brown to FC Bayern Munich. After finishing last season with the third-worst defense in the league, coach Adi Hütter aims to rebuild the backline.

Young players Keita Kosugi and Elias Baum are expected to form a new full-back duo. Hütter previously demonstrated a commitment to youth development by retaining players like Daichi Kamada during his first tenure, and he recently opted to keep 20-year-old Baum in Frankfurt despite interest from Hamburger SV.
