Frankfurt land Rosenthal

Eintracht Frankfurt have confirmed the signing of Freiburg midfielder Jan Rosenthal on a Bosman transfer.

The 26-year-old has agreed a three-year deal and will move to the Commerzbank-Arena at the end of the season.

Eintracht Frankfurt manager Armin Veh said: "He is an exceptional midfielder.

"You just have to congratulate Eintracht Frankfurt on signing Jan Rosenthal. I have been tracking his career for several years and wanted to capture him before when I was manager of VfB Stuttgart. Back then it did not work out.

"Jan Rosenthal is a clever player. He can feature as a striker and in attacking midfield. He could even play on the outside of midfield or in a holding position in the centre. He is a versatile player."
