Tottenham open talks with Eintracht Frankfurt for Jean-Matteo Bahoya as Spurs target electric winger | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur have made contact with Eintracht Frankfurt to discuss a deal for Jean-Matteo Bahoya.

Bahoya has emerged as a top target to strengthen the wide areas with initial conversations held with Frankfurt over a summer deal.

The 21-year-old scored three goals and added four assists in 15 league starts for Frankfurt, in his first full campaign for theBundesliga side.

Bahoya's ball-carrying earned interest from Arsenal and Spurs in January, with the winger ranking second in the Bundesliga for dribble success rate and percentage of offensive duels won, and fifth for successful dribbles per 90.

According toThe Athletic, contact has been held with Frankfurt, though no formal approach has been made.

Bahoya is viewed as an alternative to Manchester City winger Savinho, who has been a long-term target. The Brazilian came close to moving to North London last summer but a deal fell through.

He is understood to be open to a move to Spurs in search of regular minutes, after starting only sevenPremier League games in 2025/26.
