Eintracht Frankfurt in talks to sign Djylian N’Guessan from Saint-Étienne
Summary

Eintracht Frankfurt is reportedly engaged in talks to acquire Djylian N’Guessan from AS Saint-Étienne. The 17-year-old forward, regarded as a promising talent in French football, has had limited appearances with the first team, playing just five matches and scoring once this past season. Despite his lack of first-team experience, his performances in youth competitions have drawn attention. Saint-Étienne previously rejected an €8 million offer from Chelsea in January, but the player’s future is now uncertain following the club's failure to secure promotion this summer. N’Guessan's current contract expires next summer, making a transfer this summer a possibility.
