Frankfurt boss Fredi Bobic confirms interest in FC Bayern youngster Joshua Zirkzee

Bayern München forward Joshua Zirkzee is the kind of player Eintracht Frankfurt need, admits club boss Fredi Bobic.
Eintracht Frankfurt boss Fredi Bobic has praised Joshua Zirkzee amid speculation linking the young Bayern München striker with a move to Deutsche Bank Park.

Frankfurt are said to have emerged as leaders to sign Zirkzee on loan this month, and when asked about the 19-year-old on Saturday, Bobic did nothing to play down the rumors.

"He is a very, very young player with a lot of potential. He's the kind of player we're looking for," Bobic told Sky.

According to reports, Frankfurt have approached Bayern about loaning Zirkzee until the end of the season.

The Dutch forward has been limited to just five appearances this season and has admitted that a loan move could be a possibility for him.
