As part of their search for a new number six, Eintracht Frankfurt is considering Mexican international Edson Álvarez from West Ham United. The 28-year-old is also reportedly a candidate for 1. FC Köln. However, Markus Krösche and the club's management currently have a different, more concrete candidate under consideration. Álvarez, who has 102 caps and 7 goals for Mexico, joined West Ham in August 2023 and has a contract until 2028. His last permanent transfer from Ajax to West Ham was for a reported €38 million, and his current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €15.00m.
