Why Leeds deal for Jean-Matteo Bahoya now has figure under intense pressure
Jean-Matteo Bahoya's last-gasp move to Leeds United is causing some discomfort at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Leeds snapped up the speedy winger after the window had officially closed at 11pm on Tuesday.
The Whites managed to submit a deal sheet in time before confirming the arrival a couple of hours later.
Bahoya's move to Elland Road came out of the blue, with the 21-year-old joining on an initial loan ahead of a permanent deal that could climb beyond £25million.
While Leeds can be delighted with the capture, the opposite is true at Frankfurt.
And it appears the fallout from Bahoya's transfer - plus another late exit - is now being felt at the Bundesliga side.
What has been said following Jean-Matteo Bahoya's Leeds move?
New Leeds signing Bahoya has been likened to Vinicius Junior, so it is clear United are landing a serious talent.
The France Under-21s international has caught the eye over the past couple of years as an Eintracht Frankfurt regular.
And it is fair to say his exit has raised more than a few eyebrows at Deutsche Bank Park.
Hugo Larsson was another player who exited at the very last stage of the window, as he joined Leeds' Premier League rivals Fulham.
Thursday's print edition of Thuringer Allgemeine reports that Frankfurt sporting director Markus Krosche is now under intense scrutiny.
Krosche is said to have once been highly regarded, but Frankfurt's business this window has now seen him labelled "erratic".
The German side were forced into the late sales to Premier League side to raise funds and cut costs.
It is fair to say Frankfurt's loss is very much Leeds' - and indeed Fulham's - gain.
Will Bahoya go straight into Leeds XI vs Brighton?
Daniel Farke is now blessed with multiple options in most positions, and there is a chance Bahoya could come straight into his starting line-up against Brighton on Saturday.
Bahoya would be a like-for-like replacement for Noah Okafor on the left side of attack should Farke wish.
However, it remains to be seen what formation the German deploys at the Amex Stadium.
It seems more likely that Farke will use Bahoya from the bench on the South Coast as the youngster gets his first taste of English football.
Given what we have read and heard on Bahoya, do not be surprised if he makes an instant impact.
