VfL Bochum sign US-born Togolese striker Ouro-Tagba from Köln | OneFootball

VfL Bochum have signed 21-year-old Mansour Ouro-Tagba from 1. FC Köln on a permanent deal. According to BuLi News, he has agreed a contract to 2030 and will wear number 29.

The New York-born Togo international grew up in Germany from the age of three. Eligible for the United States and Germany, he later chose Togo after initially declining a call-up.

Last season he scored nine goals for VfB Stuttgart II in 3. Liga. He also featured in the 2. Bundesliga during 2024/25 while on loan at Jahn Regensburg.

Bochum sporting director Simon Zoller said the 1.91m forward can lead the line with power or play wide with speed, and added that the club’s project convinced him to join.

Ouro-Tagba said he was delighted to sign, thanked the club’s sporting management for their efforts, and is looking forward to meeting his new team-mates and playing for Bochum.
