FC Koln are reported to have a serious interest in the 21-year-old Danish defensive midfielder, Silas Andersen, before the summer transfer window, as attention on the player increases. The German club is believed to be considering a move because of uncertainty surrounding Eric Martel. Andersen is considered to match the profile they are seeking and is described as being both technically skilled and strong in tackles.

A fee will be required for any club that wants to sign Andersen, because he joined Hacken in January 2025 and has a contract that is valid until 2029. There is significant competition for the midfielder. Danish media and British sources state that FC Copenhagen, Rangers, and Celtic Glasgow are also expected to scout him. Celtic's interest in Andersen reportedly began in January. According to Transfermarkt, Andersen's current market value is €2.00m. He has also earned 7 caps and scored 2 goals for the Denmark U21 national team, and has made 2 appearances in the Allsvenskan domestic league during the 2025/2026 season.
