Bas Dost

Eintracht Frankfurt have completed the signing of Bas Dost, with the 30-year-old striker putting pen to paper on a contract that will keep him at the club until 30 June 2022. 

Eintracht Frankfurt have made a significant addition to their squad with the signing of Bas Dost from Portuguese giants Sporting CP on a three-year contract. Dost arrives on the banks of the Main with an outstanding record of 76 goals in 84 appearances in Portugal’s Primeira Liga, where he was also the top scorer during the 2016/17 season with 34 goals. 

“After the departure of Sébastien Haller, it was important for us to find an adequate replacement, who ideally is experienced and capable of helping us straight away,” explained sporting director Fredi Bobic. “Bas fulfils those criteria and knows the Bundesliga. He’s an important addition to our squad with his build and his confidence in the box. His goalscoring record is very strong, and of course we hope he’ll be just as clinical for us.” 

Dost played in the Bundesliga for VfL Wolfsburg from 2012 to 2016. The 6ft 5in forward netted 36 goals in 85 league games for the Lower Saxony side, including four in a 5-4 away win against Bayer 04 Leverkusen on 14 February 2015. The Dutchman will wear the number 9 shirt for the Eagles. 

“I’m happy to be here and looking forward to my time at Eintracht Frankfurt. I’m a striker who loves to score goals,” said Dost following his arrival.
