Overview

• 1. FC Köln has extended 20-year-old forward Chilohem Onuoha’s loan at SC Verl through June 2026 to support his development before rejoining the first team.
• Onuoha tallied three goals and four assists in 20 third-division appearances last season despite averaging just 29 minutes per match and suffering several minor injuries.
• Technical director Lukas Berg said that SC Verl’s playing style suits Onuoha’s qualities and that the renewal aims to increase his match involvement.
• FC Energie Cottbus completed the signing of 21-year-old goalkeeper Max Böhnke from TSV Aubstadt after a successful trial, installing him as the club’s third-choice keeper.
• Goalkeeper coach Anton Wittmann praised Böhnke’s one-on-one ability, modern playing approach and six clean sheets in 22 matches as evidence of his potential.
