Frankfurt Move is Key Development Step for New Signing Aseko

New Eintracht Frankfurt signing Noel Aseko sees the club as a vital platform for his ambition to play on the international stage and potentially for the German national team. The 20-year-old defensive midfielder, who recently signed a contract with the club until 2031, expressed his strong desire to represent Germany at the highest level.

“

Everyone wants to play for the senior national team one day. I think that should also be my goal. I would be lying if I said no.

Aseko was drawn to Frankfurt by what he described as an "overall package," which included positive conversations with the club's management and coaching staff, as well as a clearly defined development plan. He believes the club offers him significant playing time and a conducive environment for growth.

Describing his playing style, Aseko likens himself to former French World Cup winner N'Golo Kanté. He highlighted his intensity, confidence on the ball, and strong tackling ability, particularly in defensive pressing. While acknowledging his strengths, Aseko also recognizes areas for improvement across all aspects of his game.

“

It was the overall package. I had great conversations with the club and the coach. It just convinced me, as did the clear plan they have here.

Having developed at notable German clubs like Hertha BSC Berlin and FC Bayern Munich, Aseko moved to Hannover 96 on loan in February 2025, where he made 33 appearances in the second division last season, contributing six assists and three goals. He is eager to integrate into the Frankfurt team and contribute to their success both on and off the pitch, particularly looking forward to the passionate atmosphere created by the club's fans.

“

I am N'Golo Kanté like. I bring a lot of intensity, am brave with the ball, and strong in duels against the ball. My pressing is decent.
