On 4 June 2017, Köhn signed a four year deal that will keep him at the German club till June 2021. He didn't make any appearance for the club.[2][3][4]

Red Bull Salzburg

On 6 July 2018, Red Bull Salzburg announced that they have signed Köhn from Leipzig, their unofficial sister club on a four-year contract that will keep him at the club till 31 May 2022. Since Liefering is Salzburg's feeder team, he is eligible to play for both clubs as a cooperation player.[5] During the 2019/2020 pre-season friendly, Köhn played in a football match between Salzburg and Chelsea in the Red Bull Arena, replacing Cican Stankovic at half time. He conceded two goals from Pedro and Batshuayi as the match ended in a 5–3 loss.[6][7] He's still yet to make his first team debut for Red Bull Salzburg, but has featured for Liefering 12 times.[8]

International career

Köhn has represented Germany from under-15 to under-18 age group, before switching his allegiance to Switzerland. He has been playing for Switzerland from under-19. He currently plays for the Switzerland under-21.[9]
