Hoffenheim loan Conté out to Karlsruhe, Bischof to follow?

Following seven substitute appearances in his debut season with the senior squad, 20-year-old German attacker Bambasé Conté will receive the opportunity to accrue more playing time in Germany's Fächerstadt. The Germany U20 international has been loaned out by TSG 1899 Hoffenheim to the Karlsruher SC. There are reports that one Conté's Kraichgauer teammates may be joining him soon. 

The local Badische Nest Nachrichten (BNN) reports that the KSC also has interest in talking on attacking midfielder Tom Bischof, who has a total of 25 senior team appearances under his belt. Bischof garnered three assists in 13 league appearances this year. The Sinsheimers are reportedly looking to extend his current contract and loan him out. For the time being, only Conté is headed to Karlsruhe. 

"Bamba has already shown his exceptional abilities time and again, not only in training sessions but also in his brief appearances in the Bundesliga," TSG licensing head Pirmin Schwegler noted in a statement, "we have jointly decided to loan Bamba to the ambitious second division club Karlsruher SC for the next season so that he can take the next step in his career there."
