Josue Santo has completed a loan move from Spfr. Siegen to Wuppertaler SV, joining the Regionalliga West side on a temporary deal starting 2026-02-02 and running until 2026-06-30. The centre-forward leaves Siegen for a fellow Regionalliga West club, with the transfer registered as a loan transfer and no permanent fee disclosed.
The 22-year-old attacker, who holds both German and Angolan nationality, arrives at Wuppertaler SV with a current market value of €75k. His switch keeps him in the German fourth tier, where both Spfr. Siegen and Wuppertal compete, and ensures he remains under contract with Siegen, to whom he is scheduled to return at the end of the loan when the agreement expires on 2026-06-30.
Santo’s move continues a career spent entirely in Germany to date. Born in Hagen and standing at 1.96 m, he developed through the VfL Bochum system, progressing from VfL Bochum Youth to the U17s in 2020-21 and then to VfL Bochum U19 in 2021-22. After leaving Bochum’s youth ranks, he stepped into the senior game with ASC 09 Dortmund in 2023, before transferring to Sportfreunde Siegen ahead of the 2025-26 season.
At Siegen, his market value was assessed at €75k twice during 2025, underlining a stable valuation for a young forward still early in his senior career. The loan to Wuppertaler SV therefore represents an opportunity for him to test himself at another Regionalliga West club while remaining tied to his parent side. There is no indication in the data that an option to buy has been included, meaning Santo is due to become available again to Siegen when the loan ends, rather than becoming a free agent at that point.
Primarily deployed as an attack – centre-forward and preferring his right foot, Santo’s profile is that of a classic central striker. His height offers an aerial presence, while his background in the Bochum academy suggests a grounding in technically focused youth development within German football. He has not yet been recorded as representing a national team, despite his dual Germany/Angola eligibility.
The transfer history provided shows a steady progression through youth and regional levels, but does not list individual match performances, appearances, or goal statistics, nor any specific recent fixtures. As a result, there are no verifiable details in the data regarding his latest matches, scores, or contributions in terms of goals or assists for either Sportfreunde Siegen or his previous clubs.
What is clear, however, is the contractual framework: a confirmed loan transfer from Spfr. Siegen to Wuppertaler SV in the Regionalliga West, fixed market value at €75k while at Siegen, and an agreed loan end date of 2026-06-30, after which he is scheduled to return to his parent club. This spell at Wuppertal offers Santo another platform in the same division to further establish himself as a senior centre-forward within German football.
