Bayer Leverkusen Prepares Potential Acquisition of AZ Alkmaar Player, Poku
Bayer Leverkusen Bolsters Squad with New Signings
Bayer 04 Leverkusen has been active in the transfer market, strengthening its squad for the upcoming season. The German club has acquired several players from various clubs, including Dutch winger Ernest Poku from AZ Alkmaar [1].
Poku, a 21-year-old Dutch U-21 international, is known for his exceptional speed and skill on the wing. During the U-21 European Championship in Slovakia, he was the fastest player of the tournament with a speed of 35.3 km/h [2].
The new signing has expressed ambition to contribute many goals and assists in the Bundesliga. Bayer Leverkusen's sport director, Simon Rolfes, emphasized Poku’s ability to add something special offensively, highlighting his tempo and dribbling skills [1].
Poku signed a five-year contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2030, with a reported transfer fee of around €10 million [1].
In addition to Poku, Bayer Leverkusen has also signed Malik Tillman from PSV Eindhoven, Mark Flekken from FC Brentford, Ibrahim Maza from Hertha BSC, and Jarell Quansah from FC Liverpool [3].
Recently, Bayer Leverkusen has lost key players such as Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Jonathan Tah, Granit Xhaka, and Lukas Hradecky to different clubs [4]. However, the new signings are expected to fill the void left by these departures.
Bayer Leverkusen's new coach, Erik ten Hag, has called for more reinforcements, and it appears that the club is responding to his call [5]. With these new signings, Bayer Leverkusen is shaping up to be a formidable force in the Bundesliga.

With the addition of Malik Tillman, Mark Flekken, Ibrahim Maza, and Jarell Quansah, Bayer Leverkusen aims to fill the void left by departed players and establish itself as a competitive force in football across Europe.
