Bayer Leverkusen has secured yet another rising talent. Christian Kofane, an 18-year-old Cameroonian striker, is set to join the Bundesliga club in a move that highlights Leverkusen’s continued focus on youth development and scouting success.

Kofane began turning heads after arriving in November at Spanish second-division side Albacete, following his transition from AS Nylon, a partner academy in Cameroon. Despite being relatively unknown just six months ago, the 1.89-meter-tall forward impressed with 8 goals in 19 league appearances, including 16 starts.

Several European clubs expressed interest in signing him, but Leverkusen acted decisively, triggering his €5 million release clause. The young forward is expected to complete his medical this weekend before finalizing the deal.

With Axel Tape already on their roster, Leverkusen continues to build a promising future with young African talents. Christian Kofane’s signing could be the beginning of an exciting chapter for both player and club.
