Shani Tarashaj has joined Eintracht Frankfurt on loan until the end of the season.

The 21-year-old forward will spend the 2016/17 campaign with Niko Kovac’s Bundesliga outfit after a full pre-season with the Blues.

Tarashaj signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with the Toffees in January, before being loaned to Grasshopper Club Zurich - the club from whom he was signed - for the remainder of the term.

His form earned him a full international call-up, with the youngster making one appearance for Switzerland at Euro 2016.

Tarashaj will now meet up with Frankfurt, who began their league season with a 1-0 home victory Schalke 04 last weekend.

He becomes the Blues' fifth loaned-out player this month following Conor Grant, Russell Griffiths, Luke Garbutt and Brendan Galloway agreeing temporary moves to Ipswich Town, Cheltenham Town, Wigan Athletic and West Bromwich Albion respectively.
