The midfielder has emerged as a top target for the squad and talks are reportedly progressing as the two clubs explore whether there is a deal to be done for the player. Talks are underway, and with no competition emerging, Cologne are seen as the sole contenders for the player's signature. So far this season, Cologne are steady at both ends (1.45 goals scored per game, 1.76 goals conceded per game). The role for Salih Ozcan would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch.
