Eintracht Frankfurt has Nigerian midfielder, Raphael Onyedika on the list of potential targets for the winter and summer transfer window.
Frankfurt made a late attempt to sign Onyedika on the final day of the summer transfer window, but the move did not materialize.
Per Florian Plettenberg Onyedika remains one of Frankfurt’s preferred options as a potential replacement for Hugo Larsson, who is courting strong interests from some top European teams.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian midfielder is back after a spell on the sideline due to an injury he sustained during a Belgian Pro League match.
Onyedika’s style of play aligns well with Dino Toppmoller’s system at Frankfurt.
The 44-year-old coach often sets up his team in a 4-2-3-1 formation, a structure that would allow Onyedika to operate in his preferred defensive midfield role.
His ability to recover the ball, progress play from deep areas, and distribute accurately makes him a natural fit for Frankfurt’s tactical approach.

A move to the Bundesliga would represent a major step for Onyedika, giving him the opportunity to compete in a tougher league with higher intensity and pressure.
It would also provide a strong platform for his continued development as one of Nigeria’s most promising midfielders.
With Frankfurt expected to reassess their midfield options in January, Onyedika’s name is likely to remain on their radar in the months ahead.
