The 1st FC Nürnberg has announced the commitment of the Moroccan U18 national player Ayoub Chaikhoun of Eintracht Frankfurt. The 19 -year -old midfielder, who is the captain of the U19 of the Hesse, comes to the Franks free of charge. His contract in Frankfurt expires at the end of the season. Nuremberg did not provide any information about the contract period, but “Sky” recently reported on June 30, 2029. The club is said to have prevailed in advertising against VfL Bochum, Hannover 96 and Olympique Marseille. He is the first summer access.
Chaikhoun has played in Eintracht youth since 2018. The right foot is at home in the central midfield, where it can hold all positions from the six to ten. He played the latter most frequently in all entries in the TM database. In the current season, he contributed five goals and 13 templates for the A-Juniors in 24 games. At the beginning of the season, he also made his debut in the Southwest Regionalliga, but the only use for the U21 of the SGE remained.
Sports board member Joti Chatzialexiou said: “We are very happy that Ayoub has chosen our way. Above all, he is characterized by his creativity and technology. As captain of the Frankfurt U19, he also takes on a lot of responsibility at a young age. Our assistant coach Jérôme Polenz and I have known him from our time in Frankfurt for several years, we have always received him as a special street football. Give the necessary time that he can develop with us and then take the next step in our club. ”
Chaikhoun himself said: “I am incredibly happy to switch to the 1. FC Nürnberg. When I first learned about the interest of Nuremberg, I was immediately fire and flame and deliberately chose the club.”
