Half a year later, the Causa Knauf can occupy how fast-lived the football business is actually: On Thursday, BVB gave the 20-year-old to Eintracht Frankfurt - one of the clubs that endeavored in the last summer for a loan Knauffs but from which Borussia had collected a cancellation.

In fact, Knauf can be a real weapon in the offensive game. In the past season he reaches him in a 90-minute average more dribblings than the former BVB star Jadon Sancho. In addition, KNAUFF prepared more door screens than the Englishman skills sold in Manchester United, which could now benefit eincing, especially since the footballing quality is manageable on the wings apart from the inviolable Filip Kostic.

Many ball losses as well as a often little purposeful work in reverse defining, Knauf's game still at the highest level. If he gets these weaknesses in the handle, he could be important in Glasner's preferred 4-2-3-1 system, which did not work as desired during Eintracht so far as desired.

I am pleased that I can be part of the whole and hope I can best contribute myself, said the New Frankfurter in his approach interview with the club's own TV channel. So Knauf should start as soon as possible.
