Sébastien Haller is the Eintracht Frankfurt’s trump card
The Maurice Revello Tournament 2014 runner-up, who joined Eintracht Frankfurt for more than a year, has adapted quickly to the German football. Since the start to the current season, he established himself as one of the most decisive players in the Bundesliga.
Eintracht Frankfurt are enjoying one of their best periods in the modern era. After clinching last year their first trophy in thirty years by winning the German Cup, the « Launische Diva » is living an exciting 2018-209 campaign.
Currently third in Bundesliga, the German side has also secured a spot for the Europa League knockout round. This resurgence coincides with the arrival of Sébastien Haller at the club.
After becoming a fan favorite at Utrecht thanks to his 45 goals scored in the Dutch league in two years, the AJ Auxerre former player signed for Frankfurt during the summer 2017. Transfer fee ? €6M.
A real bargain when we look at the performances produced by the Maurice Revello Tournament 2014 runner-up. If he enjoyed a convincing first season on the other side of the Rhine (13 goals scored in all competitions) marked by a legendary goal against Stuttgart (2-1), the 24-year-old striker has stepped up to the next level over the last weeks.
Haller is currently the Bundesliga’s joint top-scorer with 9 goals netted in 12 games. He has notably found the net against the leaders Borussia Dortmund.
Except his accuracy front of the net, the Ris-Orangis-born distinguished himself as well in another area : he is leading the assist charts with 6.
The French player has also made history recently as he became the first Eintracht Frankfurt player to score in seven matches in a row since Anthony Yeboah in 1993.
He’s probably looking to keep the momentum going…
