Noticed for his impressive performances in Ligue 1 with Angers, Gabonese international defender Jacques Ekomie is targeted by German club Hoffenheim, which plans to offer him a four-year contract this summer. A potential offer close to one million euros could mark the start of a new challenge for the 21-year-old player.
Following a 2024-2025 season where he regained his form in Ligue 1, young central defender Jacques Ekomie has established himself as an emerging talent at Angers SCO. At 21, the Gabonese international played 18 league matches and 3 French Cup games, showcasing consistency and defensive solidity that caught attention beyond France.
Among European suitors, German Bundesliga side TSG Hoffenheim has shown particular interest. According to sources close to the matter, Hoffenheim has placed Ekomie on their shortlist and is considering offering him a four-year deal. The German club is preparing a proposal estimated at around one million euros, expected soon to be submitted to Angers’ management.
Under contract with Angers until June 2027, Ekomie’s market value is estimated at 800,000 euros by experts, making the potential transfer fee in line with his profile and potential. This move would provide the player a chance to experience a highly tactical and competitive league, a significant step in his development.
The 2025 summer transfer window could therefore be a turning point in Jacques Ekomie’s promising career, as he aims to compete at the highest European level and contribute to the Gabon national team. Hoffenheim, for its part, continues its recruitment strategy focused on young talents capable of growth and establishing themselves in the Bundesliga elite.
Summer 2025 promises to be busy around Angers, which must handle several possible departures, while Hoffenheim confirms its intent to invest in a defensive profile with great potential.
