Argentina v Mexico - International Friendly

The 2018/19 Bundesliga campaign hasn't gone as planned for the 29-year-old Mexican international Marco Fabian. New Eintracht Frankfurt boss Adolf Hutter having used Marco Fabian on just one occasion in their 3-1 loss against high-flying Borrusia Dortmund. Since his return from international duty, things have gone from bad to worse with Fabian not even making match day squads.

Marco Fabian still has a lot to offer but at 29 years of age, he isn't getting any younger. His playing days are flying by and in an exciting league like the MLS (were the slightest amount of skills and technique gets you past half the MLS defenders) his technique and assets will surely flourish. He's been mostly deployed as an attacking mid, but in his breakout 2013/14 Liga MX season with Cruz Azul, he was deployed as the main striker and displayed a 7 goal season.

His numbers are spectacular with the last season having seen him score only once. The season prior (2016/17) however; under the guidance on now Bayern Munich coach Niko Kovac saw Marco Fabian play 24 games and score 7 goals and assist on 4 occasions. For a player who has not even featured on the bench in recent games the price surely won't be high. His fellow countrymen Carlos Vela, Giovanni Dos Santos, Jonathan Dos Santos playing in the same league surely helps.
