Germany's "Sport Bild" tabloid reports that VfB Stuttgart, Bayer 04 Leverkusen, and FSV Mainz 05 also have interest in the 2. Bundesliga's top scoring defender. Köhn, who can also play in central defense and further up on the left flank, has netted five league tallies and registered six assists in the current campaign.
Should he be able to maintain his current form, the German tabloid reports that Köhn will depart Lower Saxony at the very latest at the end of next season via a €3 million exit clause in his current contract. The tabloid further notes that Hannover will consider letting the 24-year-old depart this summer for a sum of around €6 million.
