Younes Ebnoutalib scored 12 goals in 17 games for second-tier Elversberg in the first half of the season
When Eintracht Frankfurt host Borussia Dortmund this Friday, all eyes will be on Younes Ebnoutalib.
The 22-year-old has been one of the breakout stars in German football this season, scoring 12 goals in 17 games for second-tier high-fliers Elversberg before Christmas.
That form earned him a £6.9m move to his hometown club Eintracht in late December, crowning a remarkable rise from the lower leagues to the top of the German game.
Just a year ago, Ebnoutalib was playing in the fourth tier for FC Giessen, after a major setback in Italy had dashed his hopes of a professional career.
