According to BILD, Gideon Mensah has agreed to a move to Cologne. The final transfer details are expected to be clarified by the weekend. The final talks accelerated after his World Cup exit and are now nearing completion.

Sky first reported that 1. FC Köln is interested in Ghana international Gideon Mensah. According to BILD information, Köln appears to have a good chance in the competition for the left-back. The competition is large, but the national team player has already signaled his willingness to move to the Bundesliga. According to BILD information, if an agreement is reached, the Ghanaian would be one of two new additions for the left defensive side at Köln. Mensah would likely join the team at the earliest at the end of July, as he would need a vacation after the World Cup.

FC Köln is interested in signing Ghanaian left-back Gideon Mensah this summer. The 27-year-old, who has 43 caps for his country, is available on a free transfer after his contract with AJ Auxerre, where he was a regular starter last season, expired. At the Bundesliga club, Mensah could replace Kristoffer Lund, who has returned to Palermo after his loan spell. Final negotiations are reportedly planned to take place after Ghana's participation in the World Cup concludes. His current Transfermarkt market value is €4.00m.
