Ken Izekor is being linked with a move from Bayer 04 Leverkusen’s under-19 side to 2. Bundesliga club Eintracht Braunschweig, according to transfer information collated on 2 February 2026.
The 18-year-old centre-forward, who represents Leverkusen U19 in the U19 Nachwuchsliga Group H, has emerged as a possible attacking option for Braunschweig as they assess longer-term squad options. The rumour is currently listed with an unspecified probability, underlining that talks, if any, remain at an early and unconfirmed stage.
Izekor’s current contract details and potential transfer fee are not disclosed in the data, and his market value is recorded as “None”. That absence of a defined valuation has prompted speculation that Braunschweig could see him as a relatively low-risk acquisition or even monitor him as a possible future free agent if his situation at Leverkusen were to change.
Born on 24 May 2007 in Aachen and standing at 1.77m, Izekor is a left-footed centre-forward with German and Nigerian nationality. He has progressed entirely through the Leverkusen system, moving from Alemannia Aachen’s youth ranks in 2018 to Bayer 04 Leverkusen Youth, then stepping up to the U17s in 2021 and on to the U19s for the 2023-24 season. He currently wears the number 9 shirt for Leverkusen’s under-19 team.
The teenager has been active in the U19 Nachwuchsliga, but the supplied data does not list specific recent match details such as opponents, dates, scorelines or individual performances, leaving his latest on-field impact unquantified in public transfer records.
With no confirmed fee, no contract end date stated and the probability of a deal marked only as “?”, any move to Eintracht Braunschweig remains firmly in the realm of rumour. Even so, a switch into a 2. Bundesliga environment would represent a significant step in Izekor’s development, potentially accelerating his path from academy prospect to senior professional if Braunschweig choose to act on their reported interest.
