Martel spent last season on loan at Austria Wien, playing 33 games in all competitions. Also a regular in Germany’s U21 team, the defensive-midfield arrives at Köln as a replacement for Salih Özcan, who joined Borussia Dortmund for around €6m.

Although we’re still waiting on an official announcement, there’s a total agreement between all parties. Martel would become Steffen Baumgart’s sixth signing of the summer following Linton Maina, Kristian Pedersen, Denis Huseinbasic, Steffen Tigges and the permanent signing of Luca Kilian.
