Younes Ebnoutalib

Executive Summary

Younes Ebnoutalib is a German centre-forward born on 13 September 2003, now at Eintracht Frankfurt. He joined the club in January 2026 after scoring 12 goals in 17 games for SV 07 Elversberg in the first half of 2025/26. The move returned him to his hometown. He scored on his Bundesliga debut against Borussia Dortmund.

Playing Style and Key Attributes

Standing at 191 cm and right-footed, he brings a physical presence to the front line. Markus Krösche described him as very dangerous in front of goal with excellent physical attributes. He times runs into space and looks to latch onto through-balls. He admitted feeling overwhelmed on debut, touching the ball late before shooting. Composure under the lights still needs work.

Career and Recent Context

He turned professional with AC Perugia Calcio in May 2023, then left the club in April 2024 and went without a club until joining FC Gießen in July 2024. A strong spell at Elversberg followed, and he moved there from Gießen in January 2025 for €50k. The club signed him in January 2026 for €8m on a deal running to 30 June 2031. He made his professional debut with Perugia in September 2023.

Transfers and Outlook

First recorded value was €25k in June 2023. The rise from €1.5m a year ago reflects the Elversberg form and the Bundesliga step-up. No release clause is public and no formal interest has been reported.
