Two years after he left Bayer Leverkusen to join FC Schalke 04, Clinton Wilson is returning to Die Werkself.

On Thursday, Leverkusen announced the return of the 18-year-old winger, who will initially play for the U19s.

“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 Bayer Leverkusen director of football Kim Falkenberg.

“He will breathe new life into our U19 attack.”

Wilson, who moved to Germany from Ghana in early 2023, scored six goals and provided two assists in 24 games in the U19 DFB Youth League for Schalke 04 last season.
