Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

A. Knauff is a 24-year-old centre-forward at Eintracht Frankfurt, rated 74.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 98th of 323 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (49.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.34 goal contributions per 90 (0.27 goals, 0.07 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Knauff.

Judged on this season alone, Knauff graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 47 of the 47 centre-forwards in the Bundesliga, on 4 goals and 1 assist in 28 appearances (0.338 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 31 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 74, top 32% of the 47 centre-forwards in the Bundesliga. At 24 Knauff is in his prime years, and a market index of 44.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Knauff missed 4 games through injury (surgery) out of roughly 34 this season. The 28 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
