Nigeria striker Oluwatome Osikoya switches to Brand 04 U19 from Vikt. Koln U17

Nigeria striker Oluwatome Osikoya has joined Brand 04 U19 from Vikt. Koln U17 on a free transfer.

The 17-year-old completed the move on 18 September 2026, beginning a new chapter with the German under-19 side. Osikoya plays as a striker and is registered with Brand 04 U19 following his switch from Vikt. Koln’s under-17 team.

Osikoya spent the 2025-26 season with Vikt. Koln U17 after joining from Vikt. Koln’s youth side on 1 July 2025. His move into the club’s under-17 set-up followed an earlier free transfer from Fort. Koln’s youth section, which he completed on 1 July 2024.

The latest transfer takes Osikoya from an under-17 team into an under-19 squad. He has therefore moved up an age-group level within the German youth system after two seasons involving Vikt. Koln teams.

Before leaving Vikt. Koln U17, Osikoya was listed in the U17 DFB-Nachwuchsliga preliminary round, Group F, for the 2026-27 campaign. He had made no appearances in the competition at the time of his departure and had not recorded a goal or assist.

Osikoya’s move also represents his third club change since joining German youth football in 2024. He began that period with Fort. Koln’s youth team, transferred to Vikt. Koln’s youth set-up a year later and then progressed to the club’s under-17 side before completing his latest switch.

The striker’s arrival at Brand 04 U19 was recorded on 18 September, with no contract expiry date attached to the transfer. The deal was completed without a transfer fee, and Osikoya is now part of Brand 04 U19’s squad.
