Most valuable player in 2. Bundesliga: Bayern target super talent | OneFootball

In the 2nd Bundesliga, a teenager is making headlines. Now, this exceptional talent is catching the eye of several clubs – including the record champions.

FC Bayern is monitoring Kennet Eichhorn (16) from Hertha BSC – along with other Bundesliga clubs. This is reported by Bild. Despite his age, the defensive midfielder is already a regular at the Old Lady and, with a market value of six million euros, is considered the most valuable player in the entire 2nd league.

The native Berliner is the captain of the German U17 national team and has already played six competitive matches for Hertha, four of them consecutively from the start. This makes Eichhorn the youngest player ever to be used in the 2nd Bundesliga. His performances in the center impress with composure on the ball, game intelligence, and tackling strength – qualities that also attract interest from top clubs.

In addition to FC Bayern, VfL Wolfsburg, Bayer Leverkusen, and Eintracht Frankfurt are also keeping an eye on the Hertha talent. According to Bild, some of these clubs have already tried to sign the youngster – so far without success. In Berlin, the situation is viewed calmly, as Eichhorn only signed a new contract this summer.

The 16-year-old himself explained at the time: “For me, it was an important decision. I have been with Hertha BSC since the U9 and have always felt comfortable and been able to develop further in all teams thanks to full support and trust.” And further: “For me, it is crucial that my development never stops in all areas. That's why I see the best conditions for myself here at Hertha.”

Hertha places great hopes in the young midfielder, who is seen as a symbol of the path taken by Berlin's youth development. In Munich and elsewhere, Eichhorn's development is likely to be closely followed – after all, it is rare for a 16-year-old to be a regular at a top club in the 2nd Bundesliga at such a young age.
