Togo-United States centre-forward Mansour Ouro-Tagba of 1.FC Köln II is being linked with a move to Belgian top-flight side KAA Gent, according to transfer data compiled on 13 June 2026.
The 21-year-old, born in New York City and standing at 1.91m, is listed with a market value of €600,000, a fee that would represent a relatively low-cost gamble for Gent as they look to bolster their attacking options in the Jupiler Pro League. The rumour carries an unspecified probability, with the deal still at the speculation stage and no agreement reported between the clubs.
Ouro-Tagba, a right-footed centre-forward, is currently registered with Stuttgart II but is now being tracked in connection with a switch from Regionalliga West side Köln II to Gent. His contract situation is not publicly detailed, with no expiry date recorded, leaving observers to suggest a flexible negotiating position that could, in time, open the door to a free-agent scenario if no extension is agreed.
Recently, the dual-national forward featured for Köln II in the Regionalliga West against local rivals (opponent and scoreline not specified in the available data), with his latest outing on record coming in early June 2026. While detailed statistics from that match are not provided in the dataset, his continued involvement at this level underpins Gent’s interest in a tall, mobile attacker with experience in German regional football.
Having developed in Germany’s lower leagues, Ouro-Tagba’s profile is that of a physically imposing front man who can occupy central defenders and lead the line. A first move into a major European top division with Gent would represent a significant step up and, if it materialises, could be the transfer that defines the next phase of his career and shapes his reputation on a bigger stage.
