Derrick Köhn’s Rise at Bremen: A Star in the Making
German-Ghanaian defender Derrick Köhn is rapidly winning hearts at SV Werder Bremen with his stellar performances. The 25-year-old left-back played a pivotal role in Bremen’s dominant 4-1 win over 1. FC Union Berlin, contributing two crucial assists and showcasing why he’s become indispensable to the team.
Currently on loan from Galatasaray Istanbul, Köhn has made it clear he’s open to a permanent stay at Bremen. Speaking to BILD about his future, he said, “I feel very comfortable here in Bremen – so yes,” hinting at his desire to extend his time at the Weser. With a purchase option set at €5 million, Bremen appears well-positioned to make his move permanent if his form continues.
Köhn’s numbers speak volumes—13 appearances, two goals, and two assists in the Bundesliga so far—highlighting his importance to Bremen’s impressive campaign. His consistency has helped the team end the year in seventh place, just two points shy of a Champions League spot, fueling optimism for an even stronger second half of the season.
Bremen resumes their campaign on January 12 against RB Leipzig, with Köhn expected to remain a key figure. As talks about his future loom, fans and management alike are hopeful that the talented defender will become a permanent part of their squad.
