Leeds handed fresh Jean-Matteo Bahoya insight as Frankfurt’s transfer policy questioned

Jean-Matteo Bahoya's move to Leeds United from Eintracht Frankfurt has come into question in Germany.

The Bundesliga side is going through a turbulent period, with their sporting director Markus Krosche departing following a rise in criticism.

Over the last few years, the Bundesliga side have seen an exodus of talent leave for pastures new.

With Leeds' Bahoya named among those who have contributed to issues at the Eagles.

For Leeds, the focus will be on whether Bahoya can turn his move to England into an opportunity to establish himself, with the Frenchman needing to hit the criteria to activate his obligatory buy clause.

With the uncertainty back at his parent club not exactly an environment any player would want to return to at the moment.

Leeds loanee Jean-Matteo Bahoya named in Frankfurt crisis as £273.5m exodus exposed

Bahoya's time at Frankfurt has become part of a wider debate about how the German club have operated.

It also offers more insight into how the Whites managed to scoop up the young winger during the summer window.

German outlet Deutsche Welle, in their print edition on 19 October, has stated that Frankfurt are enduring a crisis, and that the "initial indications point more to a structural flaw."

This follows Krosche departing his role.

Within that failing structure is their transfer policy, which, while they say "nurtured young players", also "discarded them."

Among the names listed of the transfers pointed out is Leeds loanee Bahoya.

He joins the likes of Omar Marmoush, Willian Pacho, Randal Kolo Muani, Arthur Theate, Rasmus Kristensen, Tuta, Hugo Larsson and Hugo Ekitike.

A list which in total brought the German side over £273.5million in transfer fees throughout the past few years.

Leeds won't mind Frankfurt's outcome

While Leeds may sympathise with the situation at Frankfurt, they will be delighted it seemingly allowed them to snap up a talent like Bahoya.

While it has yet to work for the Frenchman at Elland Road, there is plenty of time for the 21-year-old to get his bearings in England.

So far, he has made just two Premier League appearances, totalling five minutes of game time - not exactly what he might have expected.

And he will be hoping that will steadily increase as the season goes on, rather than remaining at the bottom of Daniel Farke's pecking order.
