Chemie Leipzig: Jean-Marie Nadjombe strengthens the defense!
On August 1, 2025, BSG Chemie Leipzig signed a new player: Jean-Marie Nadjombe. The 23-year-old signed a one-year contract and will be eligible to play in full defense with immediate effect. This happened just one day after Robin Friedrich's transfer, which shows that the Chemie Leipzig management is actively working on strengthening the team. MDR reports that Nadjombe played for the U23s of FSV Mainz 05 in the last two seasons and made 42 appearances in the Regionalliga Südwest during this time.
Nadjombe not only brings experience from the Regionalliga, but also played 61 games in the Regionalliga West for SC Fortuna Köln. Born in Cologne and with Togolese roots, he went through Fortuna Cologne's youth academy and was able to attract attention in the first team. The official club website highlights that Nadjombe is versatile and shows an aggressive defensive performance.
Strong words from the coach and sports management
The head coach of BSG Chemie, Adrian Alipour, describes Nadjombe as an elegant player with remarkable technical finesse, passing security and a high willingness to run. These characteristics are crucial for the desired further development of the game in the coming season. In addition, Uwe Thomas from the sports management emphasizes the need to strengthen the defense and highlights the abilities of the new player.
Nadjombe himself expressed his joy at the opportunity to become part of BSG Chemie. He emphasized that he wants to use the support of the fans to quickly adapt and contribute to the team. Nadjombe was most recently active at Fortuna Cologne before moving to Mainz 05 and is now looking forward to the new challenge in Leipzig.
His brother Pierre Nadjombe has been playing for 1. FC Magdeburg in the 2nd Bundesliga for a year, which underlines the family football tradition. Jean-Marie Nadjombe's first appearance for BSG Chemie is eagerly awaited, as everyone involved has great confidence in his potential.
