Eintracht Frankfurt sign Real Madrid Omar Mascarell on three-year deal

Eintracht Frankfurt have announced the signing of midfielder Omar Mascarell from Real Madrid on a three-year contract.

The 23-year-old, who made his senior debut for Madrid under the management of Jose Mourinho, recently spent loan spells at Sporting Gijon and Derby County.

He is Eintracht's fifth new signing of the summer after they escaped relegation from the Bundesliga in a playoff.

Mascarell told the club's official website: "I am very happy to be here, and look forward to the atmosphere of the Bundesliga.

"Eintracht is a traditional German club, with passionate fans who are always behind the team. I want to help the team as best I can, and I hope that we will have a good season."

Eintracht sporting director Bruno Hubner said Mascarell was "comfortable on the ball" and had "good vision."
