German Bundesliga club 1. FC Köln has completed the signing of 18-year-old winger Reigan Heskey from Manchester City for approximately €2 million. The highly-rated English youth international, son of former England striker Emile Heskey, has signed a contract until 2031. Heskey, who made his professional debut for Manchester City in September 2025 under Pep Guardiola in the EFL Cup, was pursued by several Bundesliga clubs and Benfica Lisbon. Köln's sports director Thomas Kessler highlighted Heskey's exceptional offensive qualities and the club's convincing sporting plan. The transfer was facilitated by Köln's good relationship with Manchester City, including a previous permanent deal for City defender Jahmai Simpson-Pusey, who helped persuade Heskey. Heskey is expected to immediately contribute on the wings and join training next week.
