Eintracht Frankfurt are planning to offer Younes Ebnoutalib a 'salary adjustment' to deter Tottenham Hotspur from signing him, according to German broadcaster Sky Sport. Ebnoutalib has been impressive for Frankfurt, scoring six goals and providing one assist in eight Bundesliga appearances. The German striker joined Frankfurt from Elversberg during the winter transfer window on a five-year contract. Tottenham are interested in Ebnoutalib due to their struggles to score goals in the Premier League this season.
Tottenham's interest in Ebnoutalib is driven by their need to strengthen their attack, having struggled to score goals despite signing Omar Marmoush on loan from Manchester City. Roberto De Zerbi's Tottenham are keen on taking Ebnoutalib to N17, and it is suggested that they, along with Juventus, have already made contact with the player's entourage. Ebnoutalib still has more than four years left on his contract with Frankfurt, giving them a significant upper hand in negotiations.
If Ebnoutalib accepts a new deal with a salary increase, it could end Tottenham's interest in January. Frankfurt are reluctant to let Ebnoutalib leave and want to have a significant say in the matter. The club's plan to offer a 'salary adjustment' aims to make it difficult for Tottenham to sign the player.
