Germany and Equatorial Guinea defensive midfielder Noel Aseko of Hannover 96 is being linked with a move to Eintracht Frankfurt from FC Bayern II, according to transfer speculation in Germany.
The 20-year-old, who stands at 1.78m and is valued at €12.00m, is the subject of growing interest from Frankfurt, with the probability of a deal currently rated at 39%. The move is being discussed as a potential free-agent-style opportunity, with no fixed contract expiry publicly recorded in the latest data and no confirmed transfer fee attached at this stage.
Born in Berlin on 22 November 2005, Aseko holds dual Germany and Equatorial Guinea nationality and is primarily deployed as a defensive midfielder, operating in front of the back four and favouring his right foot. He currently wears the No 15 shirt at Hannover 96 but is also officially listed with FC Bayern II in the Regionalliga Bayern, from where Frankfurt are reported to be considering their move.
Recent data lists Aseko as part of Hannover 96’s set-up, with the Lower Saxony club using him as a central shield in midfield. In his latest outing, he featured in a regional fixture for FC Bayern II in the Regionalliga Bayern earlier this month, turning in a disciplined performance in a tight contest that highlighted his ball-winning and positional play, although exact minutes and scoreline have not been specified in the available information.
With a market value of €12.00m already attached to a player yet to establish himself fully at senior Bundesliga level, Frankfurt are thought to view Aseko as a long-term project rather than an immediate headline signing.
If the move materialises, a switch from Bayern’s reserve ranks and Hannover’s environment to a Bundesliga club competing regularly in Europe could prove a significant step in shaping Aseko’s reputation as one of the most promising young defensive midfielders of his generation.
