Eintracht Frankfurt's New Star: A Mesut Özil Comparison
A Rising Star in the Bundesliga
Eintracht Frankfurt has a new star on their hands. Twenty-year-old midfielder Ansgar Knauff has been turning heads with his performances this season, and is an exciting prospect. He is quick, has a great first touch, and can beat players with ease. He has also shown a keen eye for goal, scoring six times in his first 15 appearances for the club.
Comparisons to Mesut Özil
Knauff has drawn comparisons to Mesut Özil, another German midfielder who starred for Eintracht Frankfurt before moving to Real Madrid. Both players are left-footed, have excellent vision, and are able to create chances for their teammates. They are also both excellent dribblers and can play in a variety of attacking positions.
A Bright Future Ahead
Knauff is still only 20 years old, so he has plenty of time to develop and improve. But he has already shown that he has the potential to be a world-class player. If he continues to progress at his current rate, he could become one of the best midfielders in the world.
