Bayer 04 sign Clinton Wilson from Schalke 04
A new signing for the U19s: Bayer 04 have signed winger Clinton Wilson from Schalke 04. The 18-year-old previously played for Leverkusen youth teams from January to June 2024.
“Clinton Wilson is a player who is very difficult to stop: he’s quick, agile and good at finding solutions in one-on-one situations,” said Leverkusen Director of Football, Kim Falkenberg. “He will breathe new life into our U19s attack.”
Wilson was born in Accra, Ghana’s capital, and moved to Germany in early 2023. After a spell at FC Eichsfeld in Thuringia, he joined Bayer 04 for the first time in January 2024, before moving on to Schalke 04 for the 2024/25 season. He made 24 appearances for the Royal Blues in the U19 DFB Youth League last season, scoring six goals and providing two assists.
