Franco‑Malian defensive midfielder Soungoutou Magassa of West Ham United is being linked with a move to Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt, with the 22-year-old’s future in east London increasingly uncertain.
Magassa, who holds both French and Malian nationality and is listed at a market value of €17.00m, is the subject of growing speculation in Germany, where Frankfurt are reported to be assessing a deal ahead of next season. Data from Transfermarkt suggests the probability of a move currently sits at 42%, underlining that talks remain at a rumour stage rather than an advanced negotiation.
The 1.90m right-footer, who wears the No 27 shirt at West Ham, has been used primarily as a defensive midfielder, capable of screening the back line and operating as a deep pivot. Born in Stains on 8 October 2003, Magassa moved into the Premier League setup with the Hammers but his contract details – including expiry date – are not publicly defined, fuelling talk that West Ham could face a decision over whether to cash in or risk him edging towards free-agent territory in a future window.
In his most recent outing for West Ham, a Premier League fixture against [opponent not specified in available data] on June 10, 2026, which finished [scoreline not specified], Magassa featured in his customary holding role. The appearance added further evidence of his readiness for top-flight football, even if detailed statistics from that match are not provided in the available information.
Magassa’s current value of €17.00m would represent a significant investment for Frankfurt, who are targeting the upper end of the Bundesliga table and European qualification. A successful move to Germany’s top tier could offer the France- and Mali-eligible midfielder a platform to enhance his reputation on the continental stage and shape the next decisive phase of his career.
