COLOGNE, Germany (AP) ― Cologne says its has signed North Korea striker Jong Tae-se from second-division side Bochum.
The Bundesliga club did not disclose how much it paid for the 27-year-old forward or the length of the contract.
Jong, who is called Chong Te-se in Germany, will step in for the injured Lukas Podolski who was ruled out for at least three weeks with a foot injury.
Podolski partially tore a tendon in his left foot during Saturday’s 4-1 league defeat at home to Schalke.
Sporting director Volker Finke says Jong fits Cologne’s requirements “exactly.”
