VfL Bochum: Horn remains, Sissoko strengthens the storm center!

Bochum, Deutschland - VfL Bochum stays on the ball and has made several personnel decisions that should cause excitement among the fans of the association. The association announced the contract extension of goalkeeper Timo Horn on Monday. The 32-year-old, who came to Bochum from RB Salzburg a year ago, will tie up his shoes for the blue and white.

Timo Horn established itself as an undisputed number one last season. At first he had started as a substitute, but under coach Dieter Hecking he was able to quickly secure a regular place. Managing Director Dirk Dufner praised Horn as an "absolute team player", which underlines its importance for the team. With this extension, VfL Bochum proves a good knack for long -term planning in the goal.

new signing Sissoko

But that's not all! A fresh wind also comes through the commitment of 29-year-old Ibrahim Sissoko, who is released from the French first division club AS Saint-Etienne. The robust center forward brings experience from 20 Ligue-1 games in which he was successful three times. Dufner prompted his impressive physical presence and the risk of scoring to describe him as a "center forward as he is in the beech".

Sissoko is also an experienced international: he has already played eight games for Mali and will certainly be a valuable addition to the VfL Bochum squad. This obligation is intended to help Bochum collect the necessary points in the coming season of the 2nd league. The new championship starts at the beginning of August when the team will compete at Darmstadt 98.

changes in the squad

Another topic are the departures that affect VfL Bochum. Lukas Daschner will leave the club and switch to FC St. Gallen. Daschner had been awarded to the Swiss club since January and now a final farewell is being made. So the VfL Bochum squad is changing, and it remains exciting how the new players integrate into the team.

The combination of a contract extension and clever new additions shows that VfL Bochum works on a stable basis for the coming season. The focus is clearly on the 2nd league, and the signs are good that the Bochumers are hunting for success.

The anticipation for the coming season is increasing, and the fans can be excited to see what VfL Bochum will conjure up in the next season. Another chapter in Bochum football is imminent!
