German Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen have completed the signing of Cameroonian teenager Christian Kofane.
The club announced the acquisition of the prodigy in an official notice on Friday, July 11.
The signing of Christian Kofane comes a month after Africasoccer reported that Bayer Leverkusen had reached an agreement with Spanish club Albacete to sign the forward.
“𝙒𝙚𝙡𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙇𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙠𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙣, 𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙆𝙤𝙛𝙖𝙣𝙚! 🤩
“The 18-year-old forward joins us from Albacete until 2029,” Bayer Leverkusen announced in a post on X on Friday.

After moving from Cameroon to Spain in late 2024, the attacker was initially placed in Albacete’s U19 setup.
However, a string of standout performances earned him a swift promotion, and he made his professional debut in January.
In just 20 appearances in the Spanish second division, Kofane scored eight goals and registered one assist, catching the eye of several top European clubs.
He has now signed for Bayer Leverkusen and will be hoping to take his game to the next level.
