Gideon Mensah travels to Germany to complete FC Koln move
Ghana left-back Gideon Mensah has travelled to Germany to complete a move to Bundesliga club FC Koln.
The 27-year-old is expected to undergo a medical before signing a four-year contract that would keep him at the club until June 2029.
Mensah is available on a free transfer after leaving French side Auxerre when his contract expired at the end of last season.
His move comes after a strong showing for Ghana at the 2026 Fifa World Cup, where the Black Stars were knocked out by Colombia in the round of 32.
The former West African Football Academy defender has been identified by Koln as an important addition ahead of the new Bundesliga season.
Known for his pace and ability to support attacks from the left, Mensah is expected to add experience and depth to Koln’s defence.
He spent four years at Auxerre, making 108 appearances in all competitions and providing four assists. He also helped the club win promotion to Ligue 1 and retain their place in the French top flight.
Mensah began his European career with Red Bull Salzburg in Austria and has also played in European competition during his time abroad.
He has made 44 appearances for Ghana since his senior debut in 2019 and has featured at the Africa Cup of Nations as well as the 2026 World Cup.
The transfer will be completed once he passes his medical and final paperwork is signed.
