FC Köln reached full agreement with 18-year-old Martin James as a new third-choice goalkeeper. According to Sky, he'll have his medical check on Friday before completing the transfer. James joined PSG's youth ranks in 2022, but he was released after the end of his contract this summer. Experienced duo Marvin Schwäbe and Ron-Robert Zieler will continue to be the number one and two in the upcoming season. The former will retain his captaincy under Rene Wagner, while the World Cup winner will continue to be his understudy.
