German-Nigerian centre-forward Jonathan Akaegbobi has joined Stuttgart II from VfL Bochum II on loan, completing a move that will keep him with the 3. Liga club until 30 June 2027.
The 20-year-old striker switches clubs after beginning the 2026-27 campaign with Bochum II in the Regionalliga West. He made five appearances before the transfer, starting in 80% of those matches and contributing one assist across 353 minutes.
Akaegbobi is a right-footed centre-forward and will now continue his development with Stuttgart’s second team. His arrival comes as the club competes in Germany’s 3. Liga, one level above the division in which Bochum II play.
The move represents Akaegbobi’s second change of club in just over a year. He joined Bochum II from Wolfsburg’s under-19 side on a free transfer on 11 July 2025, having previously spent time in the youth system at Dynamo Dresden.
Before moving to Bochum, Akaegbobi joined Wolfsburg U19 from Dynamo Dresden U17 in July 2023. That transfer followed his earlier progression through Dresden’s youth teams, where he had arrived from SFK Dresden in 2020.
Akaegbobi remains under contract with Stuttgart II until the end of the loan period, with the agreement scheduled to conclude on 30 June 2027. The transfer history records the move as a loan, with no permanent fee attached to the switch.
The striker has represented both Germany and Nigeria through his nationality eligibility, while his club career to date has been spent in German football. He joins Stuttgart II after making five league appearances for Bochum II at the start of the current campaign.
Akaegbobi’s completed loan move places him in Stuttgart’s 3. Liga squad for the 2026-27 season and marks the latest step in his progression through Germany’s professional and regional divisions.
