Frankfurt loan midfielder Allan from Liverpool

BERLIN -- Liverpool's Allan has agreed on a season-long loan deal with Eintracht Frankfurt, both clubs confirmed on Wednesday.

The 21-year-old Brazilian, who recently spent the preparations with the Bundesliga outfit, has penned a loan deal to stay until the end of the season 2018-2019.

"Allan is a technically savvy and an intelligent player with a great overview. He will expend our capabilities in the central midfield," Frankfurt's sporting director Bruno Huebner said.

Allan Rodrigues de Sousza, known as Allan, joined Liverpool in 2015 but spent most of the time on loan to gain experiences at other clubs.

However, Frankfurt's loanee knows the Bundesliga business as he already played for Hertha Berlin where he made 15 appearances in 2016.

"Juergen Klopp and Liverpool are very keen on him, which is why we would give him the chance to prove his skills with us. Allan is already well integrated within the team," Huebner added.

German Cup winners Eintracht Frankfurt face Freiburg for the season opener on Aug. 25.
