. The lightning-quick winger moves to St. James’ Park for a club-record transfer fee, reported to be in the region of €50 million.

“Since joining from Sweden in February 2025, Bazou has undergone an extraordinary development – a fact largely attributable to the coaching team led by Chris Ilzer. His performances were instrumental in the second-best season in the club’s history,” said

sporting director Andreas Schicker.

“Of course, we would have loved to keep Bazou with us. However, it is in line with TSG’s DNA and our chosen path to sign highly talented players and, together with our coaching team, to develop them systematically and enable them to make the step up to elite clubs. We sincerely wish Bazou all the best and much success for his future endeavours and the challenge of the Premier League.”

Touré’s transfer surpasses the fee Newcastle paid for Joelinton in the summer of 2019, making the Ivorian Hoffenheim’s biggest sale in club history.

Reflecting on his departure from the Kraichgau club, Touré said:

“TSG was like a family to me. We experienced a wonderful and successful time together, during which I was able to develop as a player and as a person. I thank my teammates and coaches, but also every single person at the club and the fans from the bottom of my heart.

“I’m looking forward to the challenge of the Premier League, but

will always hold a special place in my heart.”
