VfL Bochum has agreed to loan attacking player Samuel Bamba to Dutch second-tier side Willem II Tilburg. The Bundesliga club announced the deal on Friday, confirming the loan will extend through the end of the 2025/26 season and does not include a purchase option.
Bamba has made ten competitive appearances for VfL Bochum to date – five in the Bundesliga, two in the DFB-Pokal, where he scored one goal and three appearances for the U21 team in the Oberliga Westfalen. The 21-year-old is expected to gain increased playing time with Willem II.
“Sammy needs regular competitive playing time and that is the aim of this loan” stated VfL Sporting Director Dirk Dufner. “It was his express wish to generate more playing time and to pursue this loan. We will follow his progress in Tilburg closely and wish him much success at Willem II”.
